Constituents of the mini-SEA
The estimation completion time for the mini-SEA is 30 minutes. The whole battery is composed from two subtests : (1) a reduced and modified version of the Faux-Pas test, assessing Theory of Mind and (2) a facial emotions recognition test. Both tests are among the most sensitive and specific tests for the diagnosis of the frontotemporal dementia and accurately discriminate frontotemporal dementia patients from controls or patients with Alzheimer's disease.
