Table 1. Demographics and dementia status of the sample.

Normal aging
(n = 17) 		AD
(n = 7) 		FTLD
(n = 24) 		Test statistics
Males 8 5 18 χ2(2, N = 48) = 3.56, ns
Age (SD) 66.84b (8.52) 63.56b (7.10) 60.22a (7.13) F (2,45) = 3.74, p < .05
MMSE (SD) 29.7a (.47) 22.86b (4.02) 26.16a (3.08) F(2,45) = 13.54, p < .05

Note. Groups with different subscripts differed from each other at p < .05. Mini-Mental State Examination scores (MMSE; Folstein, Folstein, & McHugh, 1975) provide information about the patients’ overall impairment due to dementia and indicate that AD patients exhibited the most impairment.
