A diagnosis given to individuals who have cognitive impairment that is beyond what would be expected for their age and education but that does not interfere significantly with their daily activities. MCI is considered to represent the transitional stage between normal aging and dementia.A subjectively sensed, and objectively verifiable, loss of memory that may result in difficulties with word finding, naming, or complex skill execution; it does not generally impair a person’s ability to carry out normal activities of daily living. It is also known as “cognitive impairment, not dementia” (CIND), and “age-associated memory impairment” (AAMI).
