   Abstract:
   Determining the presence of a memory disorder in older patients can be challenging given the similarity between the complaints of benign brain aging and early brain diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease. In this chapter is we provide an overview of the cognitive domains assessed by a standard neuropsychological evaluation with focused consideration of the cognitive profiles common to normal brain aging, Alzheimer's disease, and geriatric depression. An understanding of the domains affected in these clinical contexts and the application of targeted neurocognitive measures of memory and executive processes can augment routine screening for neurodegenerative conditions and geriatric depression © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
