We asked 22 patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) to respond to simple probes of sentences where we manipulated grammatical factors, semantic factors, and cognitive resource demands associated with a sentence. The results demonstrated limitations in the cognitive resources needed to appreciate atypical syntactic-thematic mapping relations and difficulty processing selection restrictions associated with a verb. By comparison, comprehension in AD was not influenced by the active or passive voice of a sentence. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that impaired sentence comprehension in AD is multifactorial in nature, including difficulty processing cognitive resource and semantic aspects of sentences.
