• Objective.—Comparing the pattern of spared and impaired memory functions in
neurodegenerative diseases known to affect different brain structures. Design.—Various
situations of acquisition (free encoding or controlled encoding) and retrieval (immediate and
delayed free and cued recall, recognition) were used. Setting.—Referral center. Patients.—
Fifteen for each disease (ie, senile dementia of the Alzheimer type [SDAT], Parkinson's, and
Huntington's), matched for education, severity of dementia, and depression. Main Outcome …
