Visual personal familiarity in amnestic mild cognitive impairment.
<h4>Background</h4>Patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment are at high risk for developing Alzheimer's disease. Besides episodic memory dysfunction they show deficits in accessing contextual knowledge that further specifies a general concept or helps to identify an object o...
