Effects of Aging, Sex and Forgetfulness on Mental Rotation Performance

There is growing interest in the development of screening tests for AD and MCI that focus on non‐amnestic symptoms. Moreover, evidence suggests that declining mental rotation ability can be associated with prodromal Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Additional studies in healthy aging adults are therefore needed to determine whether computerized mental rotation tasks may prove useful in predicting cognitive decline.
