de Mendonça A, et al. - Researchers examined if patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) have more prospective memory (PM) complaints vs retrospective memory (RM) complaints, and if this depends upon short-term vs long-term items or time-based vs event-based tasks. Findings suggested that patients with aMCI had significantly more difficulties with short-term memory, apparently reflecting internal temporal lobe pathology often seen with Alzheimer disease, and had more complaints with time-based tasks, which are cognitively very demanding. However, these patients did not seem to have trouble with prospective memory.
