We examined the ability of patients with dementia of the Alzheimer's type (VAT) and normal controls to perform a sentence acceptability judgment task that required deter- mining the referent for a reflexive pronoun. Performance on three different sentence types that differed in terms of syntactic complexity was assessed. Subjects performed the task alone and under two different dual-task conditions which required continuous, ex- ternally paced responses. DAT patients were more affected than controls by the dual- task conditions, but were not disproportionately impaired on the more complex sentence types. The failure of DA T patients to be disproportionately affected on the most complex sentence types in the dual-task conditions provides evidence for the separation of the processing resources that are used in sentence comprehension from those involved in other tasks.
