Comparing the relationship between subjective memory complaints, objective memory performance, and medial temporal lobe volumes in patients with mild cognitive impairment.

Introduction: The current study examined the relationship between subjective memory complaints (both self- and informant-report), objective memory performance, and medial temporal lobe (MTL) volume.

Methods: MCI patients (=58) and their informants (=51) completed the Memory Assessment Clinics Self (MAC-S) and Family (MAC-F) rating scales as a measure of subjective memory. RBANS Immediate and Delayed Memory indices were used as objective measures of memory and a subset of MCI participants also underwent MRI, which was used to measure MTL volume.
