Summary
The study is designed to determine whether there are clinical features that can be used as
biomarkers to predict whether underlying Alzheimer's pathology is the cause of a speech and
language based dementia. The primary hypothesis is that the proportion of patients who test
positive for beta-amyloid deposition will vary across different speech and language based
dementias.
