Objective: Studies have shown that Alzheimer's progression in people with Down syndrome is associated with a faster disorder in some of the functional functions.

The statistical population of the study consisted of all subjects with Down syndrome over 40 years of age and included 10 subjects or Down syndrome with Alzheimer's disorder and 10 subjects with Down syndrome without Alzheimer's disorder (a total of 20 people), which were selected by availability and then by instrument Wisconsin Cards and Stroop Test. MANOVA was used to compare the groups. Results: The results of the analysis of the data showed that among people with Down syndrome with Alzheimer's with people with Down syndrome without Alzheimer's There is a significant difference between Wisconsin and Stroup tests. Conclusion: The results showed that people with Down syndrome with Alzheimer's had a weaker performance than the other group. In fact, reducing the size of the cognitive reservoir in the frontal lobe leads to early impairment and then signs of impairment in the functional functions.
