Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients and normal adults were tested in two complementary recognition tasks. On each trial of the faces task, participants matched the photograph of a famous individual to one of four names. On each tial of the names task, participants matched the name of a famous individual to one of four photographs. The AD patients made enough consistent errors across the two tasks to suggest an impairment in the storage of information about the individuals. In addition, they made enough inconsistent errors to suggest a generalized retrieval deficit. The AD patients performed as well on the faces taslk as on the names task, providing no evidence of a specialized deficit in the retrieval of lexical information.
对阿尔茨海默病（AD）患者和正常成年人进行了两项互补的识别任务测试。在面孔任务的每次试验中，参与者要将一位名人的照片与四个名字中的一个进行匹配。在名字任务的每次试验中，参与者要将一位名人的名字与四张照片中的一张进行匹配。AD患者在这两项任务中出现了足够多的一致性错误，表明在存储有关这些名人的信息方面存在损伤。此外，他们还出现了足够多的不一致错误，表明存在普遍的检索缺陷。AD患者在面孔任务和名字任务中的表现一样好，没有证据表明在词汇信息检索方面存在专门的缺陷。
