The document reports the results of 17 studies comparing the performance of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients to normal subjects on various cognitive tests. For each study, it provides information on the statistical analysis conducted to evaluate the significance of differences in performance between AD patients and controls. Across the studies, t-tests and ANOVAs consistently showed significant performance differences, with large effect sizes in many cases.
