Abstract

In this paper,amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment(aMCI)individuals are compared to matched Healthy Aging and to Healthy Young on both language production and cognitive tests of memory. Regression analyses confirm attested memory deficits do not predict successful language performance, suggesting these dimensions are at least partially independent in MCI.
