o Using the TICS-M and published normative data, all subjects must have scores that are around -1 to -2 standard deviations for demographically corrected norms (National Institute of Aging-Alzheimer's Association recommended criteria for the very mild to mild stages of Alzheimer's disease; Albert et al., 2011; McKhann et al., 2011).
