What are the main signs and symptoms of age-associated memory impairment & cognitive decline?

    Last Updated: October 25, 2023

    People with AAMCD experience a decrease in fluid intelligence (the ability to solve new problems without prior knowledge), such as processing speed or working memory, but no changes in crystallized intelligence (skills and abilities learned over time), such as vocabulary or historical information. The symptoms are mild and often self-reported.[1][2]
