Correlations between the event related potential (ERP) repetition effects and memory performance

	LPC repetition effect (550–800 ms, Cz)		Global LPC repetition effect (550–800 ms, all sites)
	MCI (n=14)	All (n=28)	MCI (n=14)	All (n=28)
Pearson correlations between ERP repetition effects (mean amplitude of difference between new and repeated items in a 550 to 800 ms latency window for congruous items) and neuropsychological tests of verbal memory.
p < 0.05; *p < 0.01.
CERAD, consortium to establish a registry for Alzheimer's disease; CVLT, California verbal learning test³¹; DRS, dementia rating scale³⁰; LPC, late positive component; MCI, mild cognitive impairment.
