Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Primary objective: The aim of the present study is to apply and validate a newly developed, visually designed, multidimensional screening instrument (Cologne instrument for the nonverbal assessment of subjective impairments in cognition and activities of daily living; KINO-MCI) for the language-reduced assessment of subjectively experienced changes in cognition and ADL-activities in a neurological cohort (including healthy control subjects). In this way, the differential diagnosis of age-associated cognitive changes vs. MCI vs. mild dementia should be improved.
