   Proposal Description:
   The aims of this study are to further investigate robust and conventional norms in older adults, and determine which norming procedure may better identify dementia risk. Our primary hypothesis is that longitudinal robust norms will provide higher sensitivity and accuracy for detecting future MCI or AD when compared to conventional norms. This work will provide normative data samples essential to neuropsychological testing and prediction of cognitive decline.
