| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Language impairment is one of the major cognitive dysfunctions of dementia. We focused on grammatical impairment among them, and conducted research on psychological tests to detect grammatical impairment, neurodegenerative sites of each aphasic symptom, and therapeutic strategies that can be implemented inexpensively and in large numbers of patients.
In this study, we examined the usefulness of the neuropsychiatric test using stimulus picture and word cards, language functions involving the cerebral cortex and subcortical gray matter/white matter, respectively, and the rate of continuation of speech-language activities using Internet videos at home.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
現在の高齢化社会において認知症の理解・治療・介護は重要な課題となっている。認知症の症状は記憶障害と見当識障害が注目される傾向にあるが、言語機能は人と人とのつながりを促すコミュニケーションツールであり、高齢者の心理・人格の安定に欠かすことのできない機能であり、文法機能はその基本となるものである。本研究はこの言語機能の中でも最も理解や把握が難しい文法機能に焦点を当てた研究である。
