Neuropsychological Correlates of Anosognosia for Objective Functional Difficulties in Older Adults on the Mild Cognitive Impairment Spectrum.

CONCLUSION: Results support the Conscious Awareness Model, which theorizes that accurate metacognitive output is reliant on attentional, memory, and executive functioning systems. Findings from this study suggest that anosognosia for different IADLs may arise from breakdowns at varying points in this model, explaining both inter- and intra-patient variability in self-awareness of functional deficits.
