There are few studies that address its execution in patients with dementia. The objective of this research study was to evaluate and study the planning ability through the Zoo Map Test in patients with Alzheimer's Dementia. Method: 50 patients with dementia of Alzheimer’s type and 60 participants without neurocognitive affectation, both groups with similar sociodemographic characteristics. The planning ability was evaluated through parts A and B of the Zoo Map Test. Results: As for part A there were significant differences (p< .01) between the two groups insofar as the total score, time, and number of errors were concerned. As for part B there were differences between the two groups insofar as the total score, sequence, time and number of errors were concerned (p < .01). Conclusions: Planning ability showed to be impaired in dementia of Alzheimer's type patients. It would be advisable in future studies to evaluate the planning ability in DAT patients with different degrees of severity. 2018 artículo científico 0718-4123 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=439657072004 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4396/439657072004/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4396/439657072004/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4396/439657072004/439657072004.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4396/439657072004/movil https://doi.org/ 10.7714/CNPS/12.3.204 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4396 Cuadernos de Neuropsicología / Panamerican Journal of Neuropsychology application/pdf Centro de Estudios Académicos en Neuropsicología Cuadernos de Neuropsicología / Panamerican Journal of Neuropsychology (Chile) Num.3 Vol.12
