O3-06-05: MULTIPLE MEMORY TESTS SUBSTANTIALLY IMPROVE LONGITUDINAL PREDICTION OF PROGRESSION TO MILD COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT

Individual differences in episodic memory in cognitively normal adults effectively predict which individuals are most likely to progress to mild cognitive impairment (MCI) years later. Researchers and clinicians often strive to identify the specific measure that outperforms others (e.g., list-learning vs. story recall; delayed vs. immediate recall). The underlying assumption is that adding a suboptimal measure will reduce prediction, but it is...
