CANTAB (PAL) total error score had the best overall sensitivity and specificity between groups, such that 94% of AD cases would be correctly discriminated from 91% of MCIs. The Route test summed trials (immediate recall) score was better for discriminating between HE and MCI than between MCI and AD. CAMCOG learning (verbal and visual recall and recognition) and WLL-Selective Reminding at baseline after 24h consolidation discriminated well between MCI and AD, but not as well between HE and MCI.
