The incidence of clinically apparent asymmetric profiles of neuropsychological deficits in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients similar to those reported in the PET literature is currently unclear. This study investigated lateral neuropsychological asymmetry using principal component factor analysis in a sample of 153 patients diagnosed with probable AD. Using factor scores, patients were classified into groups exhibiting asymmetric or symmetric profiles of neuropsychological deficits. In the analysis of lateral asymmetry, 27.5% of patients were classified as asymmetric (10% verbally and 17% visuospatially). Consistent with reports of continued asymmetry beyond the mild dementia stage, asymmetry was exhibited in the mild, moderate, and severely demented groups. These findings of neuropsychological asymmetry across stages of dementia are consistent with the picture of significant neuropsychological heterogeneity in AD that has been emerging in the decade.

This study presents a tourist ecological orientation (TEO) construct based on the responses of participants who were asked to state the importance of various ecological features of planned tourist sites. The higher the TEO score, the more sensitive the person's attitudes toward the ecological requirements and responsibilities of tourist sites. A principal component factor analysis reveals two alternative dimensions of the TEO concept: ‘destination oriented’ and ‘visitor oriented’. The higher score that was given to the latter dimension supports the argument that successful implementation of ecological values at tourist sites requires a strong orientation towards consumer needs in addition to an ideological commitment to the environment. In addition, differences in ecological orientation patterns and structure were analysed along age and nationality.
