Abstract
We report distinct patterns of decision-making errors in an open-ended decision task requiring memory-based option generation, observed in patients with Alzheimer’s disease and behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia. These findings reveal novel pathways in which well-documented cognitive changes in dementia lead to decision-making impairments with important real-world implications.
