Perspective taking abilities in amnestic @entity73 and XXXX .

@entity1 @entity73 @entity195
UNASSIGNED: Perspective taking is the ability to imagine what a scene looks like from a different viewpoint, which has been reported to be impaired in @entity195 ( @entity195 ). This study compared overhead and first- @entity1 view perspective taking abilities in @entity1 with @entity73 ( @entity73 ) and @entity195 . A newly developed Arena Perspective Taking Task (APTT), using an environment of a circular arena, was used to compare 23 @entity195 @entity1 and 38 @entity73 @entity1 with 18 healthy controls. The results were contrasted with a published perspective taking test (Standardized Road-Map Test of Direction Sense, RMTDS). The @entity195 group was @entity73 and first- @entity1 view APTT versions, but the impairment in the overhead view version applied specifically to @entity1 . @entity1 with aMCI were impaired in the first- @entity1 view but not in the overhead view version. Substantial sexual differences were found in the overhead but not in the first- @entity1 view APTT version. The RMTDS resembled both APTT versions: @entity1 with aMCI were impaired in this test and also @entity1 in both @entity1 groups were less accurate than @entity1 . Using the receiver operating characteristic analysis, the highest predictive power for @entity73 and @entity195 @entity1 diagnosis versus controls was observed for their success rate in the first- @entity1 view version. The results suggest distinction between overhead and first- @entity1 view perspective taking in the @entity73 @entity1 and the sex differences. The first- @entity1 view perspective taking is a potentially important candidate psychological marker for @entity195 .
