Abstract :
Dementia of Alzheimer's Type is a common disorder with a massive impact on the quality of life of patients and their caregivers. After age 65 years, the prevalence of dementia increases greatly with age (Evans DA, 1989; Rocca WA, 1986). For this study, thirty Kashmiri Female Bilingual AD (Mild-Moderate-Severe) patients and an equal number of controls matched for age, gender and education were tested in a simple Sentence Translation Task. The study aimed to find out the effect of Alzheimer’s disease on the patient’s ability to use syntactic information in sentence comprehension and whether the subjects are able to read and translate sentences properly. The results from the Cross-sectional Comparison in this study reveal that Mild and Moderate AD patients produce more errors in reading, comprehension and translating sentences than Control group. While as Advanced AD patients show a severe impairment in their ability to process Syntactic information.
