The within-group analysis showed a positive trend, which just failed to reach statistical significance but showed a strong effect size for the
CERAD total score (p = 0.060; r = 0.70) demonstrating an improvement of the CS group (n = 12) from pre- to postintervention.

The PhD thesis of Ilona Hallikainen focuses on the progression of Alzheimer's symptoms after diagnosis and sheds new light on the usability of the
CERAD neuropsychological test battery in the monitoring of the progression of the disease.
Fortunately, two of the neuropsychologic tests - the
CERAD (Consortium to Establish a Registry of Alzheimer's Disease) Recognition Memory and the Trail Making B - proved to be the best predictors of subsequent conversion to dementia.
