Investigations of Memory Monitoring in Individuals With Subjective Cognitive Decline and Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment

Background:
Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) has been called the prodromal stage of amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI); however, further investigation is needed to confirm this observation.
Objective:
To define the relationship between SCD and aMCI.
Method:
In this case-control study, we used the feeling-of-knowing in episodic memory (FOK–EM) test to measure the memory-monitoring function of 40 adults with aMCI, 60 with SCD, and 55 healthy controls.
Results:
The recognition rates of FOK–EM (53.53% ± 7.82%; 55.12% ± 6.08%) and judgment accuracy of the aMCI and SCD groups (γ values 0.21 ± 0.11; 0.30 ± 0.16) were significantly lower than those of the control group (72.32% ± 5.14%; 0.57 ± 0.16) (F = 116.24, P
