Annual Report 2019
The Vallecas Project neuropsychological examination protocol has been de- signed to comprehensively assess neuropsychological functioning of study par- ticipants, as well as their progression during the longitudinal follow-up. Spe- cifically, although the neuropsychological battery focuses especially on the evaluation of memory processes, attention and executive functions as potential early markers of Alzheimer’s disease, the neuropsychological profile is complet- ed by getting information related to other cognitive domains such as language, visuospatial ability and visuoconstruction. All these data allow identifying the strengths and weaknesses in the cognitive profile and characterizing, if nec-essary, the type of cognitive impairment that an individual presents. Table below lists the different tests that make up the neuropsychological battery of the Vallecas Project, as well as the visit number in which they have been applied to all study participants:
