Unstandardized beta, F and p values are reported for linear mixed models for both MEM and EF in those with MCI. There were no education x pathology x time interactions through 2 years, although there was a trend for an education x pathology interaction at baseline for EF. However, in this interaction EF scores were not as negatively affected by pathology in lower education than those with higher education, which the opposite direction expected using cognitive reserve theory.
