Abstract:

We investigated phonologic production in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD) on a repetition task. AD patients produced significantly more speech errors than age-matched controls. AD patients’ errors, unlike those of controls, resulted in the transformation of real words into pseudowords, occurred disproportionately in word-initial positions, and were not influenced by the phonologic environment. This pattern of errors suggests a lexical phonologic retrieval deficit in AD.
