Development, Standardisation and Standardisation Project for a New Memory Assessment
Sponsor:

University Hospital, Tours

Brief Summary:

Episodic memory (EM) is a neuropsychological marker of Alzheimer's disease (AD) (Thomas-Anterion, 2006). Current tests for its assessment do not take into account the identity and emotional aspects of memory (Van der Linden et al., 2018). However, there are models that integrate links with identity, self-awareness and experience. Pause et al. (2013) propose criteria to create ecological tools, including consideration of the emotional valence of memories and the spatio-temporal context of acquisition. In line with these criteria, we have developed a new tool: the NEM (New evaluation of Episodic Memory). Preliminary studies show different response profiles on the NEM among patients (Launay et al., 2023). We now want to evaluate the relevance of this tool in the differential diagnosis of AD.
