Currentlyapplied classifications of preclinical Alzheimer’s dis-ease (AD), notably mild cognitive impairment (MCI),that define decline in mental processes in terms of for-mal neuropsychological assessments have limitationsthat can be addressed by novel measures of behaviorand brain functioning. Furthermore, they suggest thatlimiting the study of older adults to those with addi-tional biomarkers suggestive of insipient AD leads tothe neglect of disability from SCI which is real andburdensome.TheauthorssuggestseveralbenefitsofstudyingSCIwith novel measures. The links between existing neu-ropsychological measures and real world activities inpatients with subtle difficulties are weak either due toa failure to measure functions related to these activi-ties or insensitivity to subtle declines. Cross-sectionalstudies using novel measures demonstrate consistencybetween MCI and AD and imply that these measures |
