The aim of the present study was to investigate the qualitative characteristics of semantic impairment in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD). In particular, we wanted to verify if subordinate and distinctive concept features are affected earlier than superordinate or shared ones and whether sensory features are more vulnerable than nonsensory ones. Also, we investigated if feature correlation and level of feature occurrence in concept description (dominance) influence the resilience of concept features to degenerative damage.

Abstract

The aim of the present study was to investigate the qualitative characteristics of semantic impairment in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD). In particular, we wanted to verify if subordinate and distinctive concept features are affected earlier than superordinate or shared ones and whether sensory features are more vulnerable than nonsensory ones. Also, we investigated if feature correlation and level of feature occurrence in concept description (dominance) influence the resilience of concept features to degenerative damage.
