Differences in Word‐List Learning Strategies in Amnestic and Non‐Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment

aMCI participants used temporal contiguity to organize their recall, but this represented a suboptimal strategy relative to semantic clustering. Individuals with aMCI and relatively intact semantic processing may be able to sustain memory performance by adopting semantic strategies. In naMCI, there was less use of temporal contiguity to organize recall, which may be consistent with reduced frontal memory organization abilities.
