The MCI Screen is a tool that is used utilizing one's computer. Basically the individual that's interviewing the subject that's being tested sits across from the individual and asks them specific questions directly out of their computer. It takes approximately 10 minutes to do, and it basically utilizes immediate and delayed recall features that came out of the CERAD study or the CERAD test. In addition, there's triad z-score based on animal model or animal naming that is utilized that helps give the test the solid specificity and sensitivity that it has.
