Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The transitional state between normal aging and early dementia is called Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). This term is used to describe a level of cognitive decline that is greater than would be expected for an individual’s age and education level, but is not severe enough to be classified as dementia. Confusion, attention deficit disorder, and neurosis are not specific terms for this transitional state.
