   Proposal Description:
   Our aim is to explore associations among neuropsychological test performance at initial visit and measures of functional outcome at the point at which a clinical diagnosis is made. We believe, as most do, that neuropsychology is well suited to inform researchers and clinicians alike of the cognitive (and emotional) underpinnings of dementia and how they map onto functional outcome.    We aim to utilize various statistical procedures to better improve our understanding of the neuropsychology of this devastating illness.
