Notes: bv-FTD=behavioral frontotemporal dementia; AD = Alzheimer's disease; FCSRT = Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test; IR = Immediate Recall; DR = Delayed Recall.
Data are expressed as mean (SEM).
Comparisons between Controls- bv-FTD, Controls-AD, and bv-FTD-AD patients were carried out by the Kruskal–Wallis one-way ANOVA for k samples with pairwise comparisons.
aControls versus bv-FTD: p < .05; Controls versus AD: p < .001; bv-FTD versus AD: p < .001.
bControls versus bv-FTD: NS; Controls versus AD: p < .001; bv-FTD versus AD: p < .05.
cControls versus bv-FTD: p < .001; Controls versus AD: p < .001; bv-FTD versus AD: p < .001.
dControls versus bv-FTD: p < .001; Controls versus AD: p < .001; bv-FTD versus AD: p < .05.
eControls versus bv-FTD: NS; Controls versus AD: p < .05; bv-FTD versus AD: p < .05.
NS = not significant (p > .05).
