condition and AVLT-LTM (p1⁄40.02, r1⁄4-0.50). Combining two UEF parameters in regression models for predicting AVLT scores, we observed a significant association between UEF models with AVLT-STM and AVLT-LTM scores for both normal and rapid tasks (p<0.02, r1⁄40.53-0.71). Conclusions: In cognitively normal older adults, the UEF normal and rapid elbow flexion speed significantly correlated with the AVLT STM and AVLT LTM while UEF motion variability in the normal speed condition correlated with AVLT LTM, suggesting a potential role for UEF tasks in enhancing assessment of early cognitive decline. Further research on the role of UEF as a rapid screen for early cognitive impairment is recommended.
