Normative Study Of A Memory Test "FCSRT-IR" in Older Population

The diploma thesis is focused on standardization of the neuropsychological test The Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test with Immediate Recall (FCSRT-IR), this test is a one of memory tests which contains phase with controlled learning. In the theoretical part it deals with aging and cognitive functions especially memory, further episodic memory test especially FCSRT-IR and its administration and benefits of this test against other episodic memory tests. In the practical part of this diploma thesis we report norms based on population in age 60 years and older (N= 362; range of age from 61 to 97), the norms are based on National Normative Study of Cognitive Determinants of Healthy Ageing which took place from 2012 to 2015 (IGA NT13145) and the author of this diploma thesis was a member of its team. In the second part of this thesis we deal with validation study which was conducted on population of people with dementia in Alzheimer's disease (N= 37; range of age from 61 to 88) comparing with healthy control group. In this validation study we confirmed that FCSRT-IR is a sensitive method for detection dementia in Alzheimer's disease. Keywords: Episodic memory, FCSRT-IR, controlled learning, norms, validatio
