Component

This study examined the driving skills of persons in the questionable and mild stages of dementia using an in-car, on-the-road assessment. This study had 3 goals: (1) to study the difference for in-car, on-the-road driving performance for persons with questionable or mild Alzheimer's disease compared with healthy elderly controls, (2) to assess whether those with Senile Dementia of the Alzheimer's Type (SDAT) lack insight into their driving deficits, (3) to compare performance on a pre-driving cognitive assessment with actual in-car, on-the-road driving to determine if there is a relationship between the two for SDAT persons.
