Read our Alzheimer Disease research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers are developing a new way to test memory and thinking that may be better at catching early signs of Alzheimer's disease. Instead of using traditional memory tests, they are creating a specialized task that focuses more specifically on how the brain processes meaning and information. This study will help doctors understand whether this new approach is more sensitive for detecting Alzheimer's in its earliest stages.
Current memory tests don't always catch the subtle changes that happen very early in Alzheimer's disease. This trial aims to create a better diagnostic tool that could help identify the disease sooner, when treatments might be most helpful.

As a participant, you would come in for an assessment as part of your regular Alzheimer's clinic visit. You would complete a paper-and-pencil memory and thinking test battery, including a specialized memory test called the free and cued selective reminding test, which helps doctors see how well you remember information when given hints. The testing happens during your normal clinical routine, so there are no extra trips or long additional time commitments beyond your regular care.
