The goal of this observational study is to learn about social cognition and risky behaviour in patients with young-onset dementia (YOD). The investigators want to * Examine differences in performance on social cognition test and measures of risky behaviour between behavioural variant YOD patients, patients with frontal brain injury, non-behavioural YOD patients and healthy controls. * Examine if there is a relation between social cognition tests and measures of risky behaviour. Participants will be administered a neuropsychological assessment including social cognition measures and patients will complete a driving simulator task in which risky behaviour will be elicited.
