Abstract: high scores and little room for improvement (that is, there was a ceiling effect).The section on evaluation also mentions the use of several other tests, including a letter cancellation task, a 10 word recognition task, and paired associate memory tests.The results of tests are omitted from the results section.Thus the methodology of this trial makes it impossible to draw any conclusions about the effect of tacrine, and the negative results reported are as open to doubt as the positive results in the original paper by Summers et al,< which Dr Chatellier and colleagues have attempted to replicate.
