Abstract
These findings suggest that these two phenomena are involved in the limitations of this type of test for the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and mixed dementia. There is a “floor” effect in free recall among subjects presenting functional memory impairment, for example, anxiodepressive syndromes and a “ceiling” effect in total recall, in particular among subjects with a high-level sociocultural background.
