Note. CBB = Cogstate Brief Battery. Lrn/WM = Learning/Working Memory. CU= Cognitively Unimpaired. MCI= Mild Cognitive Impairment. A = amyloid. T = tau. Cogstate Brief Battery was independent of diagnosis. Biomarker status was not considered for diagnosis.

AUC values are the same regardless of cut-off applied thus are not repeated.
