Abstract

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a term used to describe individuals with cognitive impairment that is not severe enough to affect daily functioning (e.g. Petersen, 2004; Winblad et al., 2004). Although MCI has been used to describe cognitive abnormality due to any number of causes that can be progressive, stable, or reversible, it is most often considered to be a transition phase between normal cognition and dementia.
