Executive functions (EF) disorders may be present in primary progessive aphasia (PPA)[1]. In this study, we aimed to describe language and executive profiles of the three variants of PPA[2] (non-fluent/agrammatic (nf/aPPA), semantic (svPPA), and logopenic (lvPPA)) and to analyze the relationship between these functions in PPA compared to controls. Method. We recruited 98 participants who met the criteria for PPA[3] -22 nf/avPPA, 25 svPPA, 21 lvPPA, and 41 healthy controls. Materials. Participants underwent a language and EF assessment: discourse, confrontation naming, fluency, repetition, working memory, Trail Making Test, Stroop test, tower of London and design fluency. Results. Analyses revealed that scores on most of the measures differed significantly in PPA groups relative to controls. Only repetition, working memory and design fluency were preserved in svPPA. The principal components analysis (PCA) yielded all language and executive tests onto one factor for controls, but not for PPA groups. Regression analysis highlighted relationships between language and executive tests in all groups. Discussion. Executive difficulties are observed in the three variants of PPA. The interrelation between language and executive functions is less obvious in patients than in controls. Conclusions. These findings show that executive dysfunction is observed at the early stage of the disease and that the relationship between language and EF is complex. 247 mots [1] Macoir, J., Lavoie, M., Laforce, R., Brambati, S.
