Clinical Trial Summary

In this study the participants can be recruited via scheduled consultation and external institutions (associations, senior club..). Neuropsychological assessment will be realize to determine presence or absence of neurodegenerative disease.

Study test is ecological MAI. This test are assigned in two groups (with or without neurocognitive disorders).

Description:

In this study the participants can be recruited via scheduled consultation and external institutions (associations, senior club..). Neuropsychological assessment will be realize to determine presence or absence of neurodegenerative disease.

Study test is ecological MAI. Participation will be 30 minutes for patients see in case of routine care and 2h30 for those accompanying the patients and participants recruited in external institutions.

Participants are assigned in two groups. Group 1 : with neurocognitive disorders Group 2 :

without neurocognitive disorders

Benefits :

For participants without neurodegenerative disorder, study enables to take control early if anomaly will be detected.

The study permit to have cognitive assessment.

Risk : It's possible that participants feel tired. No constraints for participants seen during scheduled consultation.

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	To compare performance obtaining to overall score remind ecological MAI between older persons with neurocognitive disorders (groupe 1) and older persons without neurocognitive disorders (groupe 2).	Overall score remind ecological MAI test (0 to 12) in two groups.	day 1
Secondary	To compare between case and control the various dimensions of episodic memory: temporal component, space component and association component.	Spatial component is defined by localisation score. Score (0 to 12)	day 1
Secondary	To compare between case and control the various dimensions of episodic memory: temporal component, space component and association component.	Temporal component is defined by temporal dimension.; Score (0 to 12)	day 1
Secondary	To compare between case and control the various dimensions of episodic memory: temporal component, space component and association component.	Association component is defined by binding score.; Score (0 to 12)	day 1
