Although the majority of patients fall under the broad classification of cognitively \u201cnormal,\u201d essential tremor is associated with increased risk for mild cognitive impairment and dementia. It is possible that patterns of cognitive performance within the wide range of normal functioning have predictive utility for mild cognitive impairment or dementia. These cross-sectional analyses sought to determine whether cognitive patterns, or \u201cclusters,\u201d could be identified among individuals with essential tremor diagnosed as cognitively normal. We also determined whether such clusters, if identified, were associated with demographic or clinical characteristics of patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1355617719001140_as2\"><jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Elderly subjects with essential tremor (age &gt;55\u00a0years) underwent comprehensive neuropsychological testing. Domain means (memory, executive function, attention, visuospatial abilities, and language) from 148 individuals diagnosed as cognitively normal were partitioned using<jats:italic>k<\/jats:italic>-means cluster analysis.
