Abstract

Neurosciences Clinical Sciences cognitive assessments Alzheimer's disease
Recently it was suggested that longitudinal cognitive assessments, although not essential for an MCI classification, are preferable to tracking the trajectory of MCI individuals (Albert et al., 2011). This aligns with previous findings that report instability among MCI cohorts, particularly in cross-sectional studies (Saunders and Summers, 2011; de Jager and Budge, 2005). The sensitivity and specificity of MCI classification is known to be enhanced by assessing multiple cognitive domains. The aim of the present study was to examine the neuropsychological profile of MCI subtypes 12 months after a classification assessment.
