A five-minute test may indicate whether someone has Alzheimer's disease.
Researchers in the online medical journal BMJ report that the 10-task test detects 93 percent of Alzheimer's patients.
The test is self-administered and consists of simple tasks including short-term memory, associations, connecting dots and word recall.
The Test Your Memory quiz has to be checked out further, but researchers say it could be more accurate than the currently used Mini-Mental State Exam. A sample test is available.
