Beyond episodic memory: Semantic processing as independent predictor of hippocampal/perirhinal volume in aging and mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer’s disease.

This statistical separation supports the importance of lexical-semantic processing as independent indicator of AD. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved)
