    Abstract

    The flash visual evoked potential P2 component is delayed in etiologically mixed groups of demented patients compared to healthy controls or nondemented patients. This study compared patients meeting both DSM-III-R criteria for dementia and NINCDS-ADRDA criteria for probable Alzheimer's disease (AD) with healthy elderly controls and found the P2 delay in the probable AD group. Additional comparisons found no evidence of a P2 delay in demented unlikely AD patients. These results suggest that earlier findings of a delayed P2 in etiologically mixed demented groups may have been due to inclusion of AD patients.
