Tests in italics denote “local analogues,” that is, traditional local versions of the UDS-3 tests. Bold (besides titles) denotes tests added or replaced to UDS-3 tests. “Order” denotes the presentation order in UDS-3 as from https://www.alz.washington.edu/NONMEMBER/UDS/DOCS/VER3/UDS3npsychworksheetsC2.pdf and the administration order of the cUDS tests as described in the Results section. Time denotes expected duration of administration estimated for patients with MCI (with CDR test score between 0.5–1) and including instructions. MINT = Multi-lingual naming test; FCSRT = Free and cued selective reminding test, verbal version(4); MoCA Montreal Cognitive Assessment.

^*Category fluency and MINT also have a long-term memory component.
