Problem

The clinical neuropsychologist only has access to the following three tasks:

1. A verbal list learning task (VVLT), containing learning, independent recall and recognition components

2. A verbal paired associate (VPA) learning task, including BOTH arbitrarily and semantically-related pairs, with learning and independent recall components for each.

3. A task that assesses general knowledge.

The clinical neuropsychologist has time to administer only ONE of these tasks.

A. Which task would best discriminate between semantic dementia and Stage 2 of a Fugue State (assume that the semantic dementia is in the early stages)?

B. Justify your response by outlining the expected profile of performance as 'impaired' or 'normal' on EACH component of EACH of the three tasks for a patient with semantic dementia AND a patient with Stage 2 of a Fugue state. You may structure your response with sub-headings, dot-points and/or a table.
