Development, Validation and Normative Data of the Italian Battery for the Recognition of Famous Faces (FAME) (I-FACE)
Sviluppo, Validazione e Dati Normativi Della Batteria Italiana Per il Riconoscimento Dei Volti Famosi I-FACE
The I-FACE project aims to develop and validate a battery to assess famous-face recognition in people with neurodegenerative diseases and stroke. It will examine face naming, familiarity, and semantic knowledge, establish norms for the Italian population, and test how well the measures identify recognition difficulties in patients with frontotemporal dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and stroke.

상세 설명
The I-FACE project aims to develop and clinically validate a comprehensive neuropsychological battery for assessing famous-face recognition in people with neurodegenerative diseases and in stroke survivors. Face-recognition difficulties can affect a person's ability to identify familiar individuals and access information about them, yet these abilities are not always assessed systematically in clinical practice.
The battery will examine three components of famous-face recognition: Familiarity, or knowing that a face has been seen before; semantic knowledge, or retrieving information such as the person's profession; and naming, or producing the person's name. It will include four tasks: Famous Faces Confrontation Naming (FFCN), Famous Faces Semantic Association based on profession (FFSA), Famous Faces Triplet Words (FFTW), which assesses semantic associations using written names, and the Famous Faces Familiarity Judgement Task (FFFJT).
A pilot study will be used to refine the tasks and select items with good internal consistency. The researchers will then collect normative data from Italian participants, considering age, sex, and educational level, and establish cut-off scores for each subtest. Finally, the battery will be administered to people with frontotemporal dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and stroke to assess its reliability and validity. Its ability to distinguish patients with face-recognition impairments from healthy individuals will be evaluated using measures including sensitivity, specificity, and ROC curve analyses. The overall aim is to provide a reliable tool for identifying and characterizing these difficulties, including subtle deficits that may support earlier and more accurate clinical assessment.

The study will include adults aged 40-85 years in four groups: healthy controls, participants with probable frontotemporal dementia (FTD), participants with probable Alzheimer's disease (AD), and participants assessed in the subacute phase after stroke (1 week to 3 months after the event). Stroke must be ischemic or hemorrhagic and confirmed by neuroimaging and/or clinical assessment. Participants will be recruited from the study's clinical setting and assessed using the I-FACE neuropsychological battery. Group-specific eligibility criteria will be applied.
