Projects
Validation of BASIT-ER and BASIT-ToM in German-speaking patients with neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders
In this project, we aim to validate the BASIT-ER and BASIT-ToM tests in German-speaking patients with neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders and to generate cut-off scores between different patient groups. For this purpose, we aim to test patients with the following diagnoses:
- Behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia
- Alzheimer’s disease dementia
- Behavioural variant of Alzheimer disease
- Moderate or severe depressive episode according to ICD-10 criteria
