changes on visual memory performance in individuals complaining of memory deficits and diagnosed with and without MCI. Methods: We evaluated 209 individuals aged +50 years who attended primary care health centers with subjective cognitive complains and without neurological or psychiatric illness. Each participant underwent extensive evaluation, including review of his or her medical history and neuropsychological assessment and was revaluated up to two times at approximately 15 months intervals with an average follow up time of 3.5 years. Of the 209 individuals 170 were diagnosed as Healthy Controls and 39 as MCI at the third evaluation following standard criteria (Albert et al 2011; Petersen 2004). We compared the trajectory of performance of the two groups on the CANTAB tests, Pattern Recognition Memory (PRM. Percent correct), Delayed Matching to Sample (DMS, percent correct), Spatial Span (SSP, span length) Figure 1. Pattern Recognition Memory Performance. Figure 3. Spatial Span Performance.
