Differences in trajectories of episodic memory, executive functioning, verbal fluency, and information processing speed\/attention between converters to AD dementia and subjects remaining non-demented were compared by means of random effects modelling.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291714002645_sec_a3\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The cognitive performance of converters and non-converters could already be differentiated seven (episodic memory) to three (verbal fluency and executive functioning) years prior to dementia diagnosis. Converters declined in these three domains, while non-converters remained stable on episodic memory and executive functioning and showed modest decline in verbal fluency. There was no evidence of decline in information processing speed\/attention in either group.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291714002645_sec_a4\" sec-type=\"conclusion\"><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Differences in cognitive performance between converters to AD dementia and subjects remaining non-demented could be established 7 years prior to diagnosis for episodic memory, with verbal fluency and executive functioning following several years later. Therefore, in addition to early episodic memory decline, decline in executive functions may also flag incident AD dementia. By contrast, change in information processing speed\/attention seems less informative.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0033291714002645","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,11,19]],"date-time":"2014-11-19T02:04:26Z","timestamp":1416362666000},"page":"1509-1519","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":54,"title":["The trajectory of cognitive decline in the pre-dementia phase in memory clinic visitors: findings from the 4C-MCI study"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"45","author":[{"given":"R.","family":"Hamel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"K\u00f6hler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"N.","family":"Sistermans","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"T.","family":"Koene","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Y.","family":"Pijnenburg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"W.","family":"van der Flier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P.","family":"Scheltens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P.","family":"Aalten","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"F.","family":"Verhey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P.
