Implicit and Explicit Memory Differences in Patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and Mild Dementia

The purpose of this research study is to understand how different aspects of thinking abilities are affected in older adults with MCI and dementia due to probable Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Dementia due to Lewy Body Disease.

Procedures

• You will be asked to participate in a series of tests on your thinking abilities such as tests about memory and learning and fill out some questionnaires about demographic information (such as your age and gender) and mood.
• With your permission, we will also ask someone who knows you well (for example, your spouse/adult child/family friend) to answer some questions about your mood and functioning.
• If you receive health care at University of Florida or its affiliates, we also ask your permission to obtain relevant information about your diagnosis and testing from your UF medical record.
• The expected total time for your participation is approximately 2 hours.
