Abstract
ABSTRACTThe effect of Levodopa administration and mnemonic strategy training in the treatment of memory deficits associated with denile dementia of the Alzheimer type was investigated in a short‐term longitudinal study. Levodopa administration exerted no significant effect upon memory functioning whereas training in the chunking of information and in visual association led to a significant, but temporary, improvement in memory functioning. Training raised performance of demented subjects to about 58% of that of non‐demented controls, compared to the 38% observed at baseline. No significant interactions between the drug and training manipulation were indicated.
