Age Associated Memory Impairment (AAMI) has been used as an objective way of defining cognitive decline with ageing. The concept, developed by Crook et al. in 19861, has well-defined criteria. AAMI was originally developed to refer to a subpopulation of normal older individuals1, but there is evidence to suggest that it may be a discrete entity, showing significant brain and behavioral changes compared to normal ageing2,3,4. The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which memory is affected in AAMI using COGTEST. Auditory Working Memory: AAMI group sequenced fewer numbers than the control group, however this did not represent a significant group difference.
