Abstract
Performance differences on the Mini-Mental State Examination and Rowland Universal Dementia Assessment Scale were examined among Turkish immigrant and monolingual, non-immigrant German and Turkish patients with Alzheimer's disease. Results suggest that the MMSE had educational, language bias, whereas the RUDAS was generally invariant across the cultural background and educational levels.
