Recognition subtests for the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status: Preliminary data in cognitively intact older adults, amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment, and Alzheimer's disease.

ABSTRACT: Objective: The Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) has three delayed recall subtests (list, story, figure), but only one delayed recognition subtest (list). Since comparisons between delayed recall and recognition can be useful in clinical neuropsychology, the current study sought to develop and preliminarily examine two proposed new subtests for Form A of the RBANS, Story Recognition and Figure Recognition. Method: A sample of older adults who were cognitively intact (n = 48) or classified with amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI, n = 29) or mild Alzheimer's disease (AD, n = 24) were administered the RBANS and the two new recognition subtests. Results: In the primary analyses, cognitively intact participants performed signifi
