Normal elderly control participants showed short-term (10-min delay) and long-term (12 months delay) priming on the Gollin Figures Test. Nearly all patients with Alzheimer's disease or vascular dementia showed short-term priming, but the magnitude of their priming was less than that of controls. Significant long-term priming was not observed for the dementia groups. Differences between controls and dementia patients on the short-term priming test may depend upon structural-perceptual processes that are intact in dementia patients and controls and explicit memory functions available only to controls. The same model could account for differences between normal elderly and dementia patients on the long-term priming test, but several other explanations are also plausible.
正常老年对照组在戈林图形测试中表现出短期（延迟10分钟）和长期（延迟12个月）启动效应。几乎所有阿尔茨海默病或血管性痴呆患者都表现出短期启动效应，但其启动效应的程度低于对照组。痴呆组未观察到显著的长期启动效应。对照组和痴呆患者在短期启动测试中的差异可能取决于痴呆患者和对照组中完整的结构感知过程以及仅对照组具备的外显记忆功能。同一模型可以解释正常老年人和痴呆患者在长期启动测试中的差异，但其他几种解释也似乎合理。
