The Salloway, Ferris, Kluger et al. article is probably the first publication of a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled pharmacologic treatment of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), the condition in between normal aging and Alzheimer's disease. The primary neuropsychological efficacy measure, a test of paragraph recall, was developed by Professor Kluger and his colleagues.
