Summary
The capacity of concept formation is not well understood, even if a link is supposed with the functioning of the frontal lobes. Our aim is to better understand the cognitive mechanisms underlying this function and to try to correlate the performance with atrophy of the frontal lobe in neurodegenerative diseases involving this region (frontotemporal lobar degeneration and progressive supranuclear palsy).
