A Meta-Analysis of Neuropsychological Functioning in the Logopenic Variant of Primary Progressive Aphasia: Comparison with the Semantic and Non-Fluent Variants.

Tests of attention, delayed visuospatial memory, visual set-shifting, and math distinguish lvPPA from svPPA and nfvPPA likely reflecting the posterior temporoparietal atrophy observed early in the course of lvPPA. These findings support the inclusion of these measures in the clinical neuropsychological assessment of lvPPA and underscore the need for additional clinicopathological and longitudinal studies of arithmetic and visuospatial memory across the PPA variants.
