Sekundarni naslov:	Processing of words and pseudo-words in patients with dementia
Sekundarni povzetek:	In the thesis we focus on word and pseudo-word processing in patients suffering from dementia of Alzheimer’s type. One of the early problems of patients with dementia is difficulty with naming and word finding, which could suggest a decay of lexical representations. The aim of the thesis is to find out how this decay progresses and to find out at which stage difficulties occur in patients with dementia. We approach this issue by using an acceptability task for words and pseudo-words which violate various aspects of word formation in the Slovenian language. The task was presented to a young control group, one patient with dementia (Alzheimer’s disease), and to two age- and sex-matched control participants. The results revealed that the patient’s mental lexicon is already in decay and her knowledge of Slovenian word formation rules and vocabulary is degraded. Most importantly, this degradation could not be detected by the standardized cognitive assessments tools, such as the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), which indicates that tests like the one developed in our case study could be of a significant importance for diagnostic purposes.

Povzetek (ePrints):	V tej magistrski nalogi smo se posvetili procesiranju besed in psevdobesed pri bolniku z Alzheimerjevo demenco. Med zgodnjimi težavami bolnikov z demenco so namreč tudi težave s poimenovanjem in iskanjem besed, kar bi lahko kazalo na izgubo leksikalnih reprezentacij. Cilj magistrske naloge je bil zato ugotoviti, kako ta izguba napreduje. Problema smo se lotili s pomočjo besed in psevdobesed, ki kršijo različna besedotvorna pravila slovenskega jezika. V ta namen smo uporabili nalogo prepoznavanja besed, ki smo jo predstavili kontrolni skupini mladih udeležencev, bolniku z demenco (Azheimerjeva demenca) in dvema kontrolnima udeležencema. Rezultati naše raziskave so pokazali, da je mentalni leksikon bolnice že prizadet in da je njeno poznavanje slovenskih besedotvornih pravil in posledično tudi slovenskega besedišča že v upadu. Kar pa je najpomembnejše, je dejstvo, da tega upada klasičen test za ocenjevanje demence, kot je Kratek preizkus spoznavnih sposobnosti (KPSS), ni mogel zaznati, kar kaže na pomembnost testov, kot je ta, ki smo ga razvili v tej študiji primera.
