Abstract
This article presents a study on the influence of “age” and “topic of conversation” on the communication skills of 33Â healthy elderly people divided into three age groups: 55-69, 70-84 and 85Â years and older. It also proposes Rousseau's normalized evaluation scale for assessing communication skills of Alzheimer's disease patients (Gecco). Finally, a comparison of communicational profiles of an Alzheimer population and a healthy population is considered.
