* No severe hearing and/or visual impairments, neurodevelopmental, or psychomotor disorders.
* No brain injuries that may interfere with cognitive functions (history of traumatic brain injury with parenchymal injury or macroscopic ischemic stroke of large extra-axial vessels or hemorrhagic stroke, brain surgery, brain tumors, or other causes that could result in acquired brain damage such as brain chemotherapy or radiotherapy).

Inclusion Criteria 'Mild Cognitive Impairment' group:

* Diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment, based on a clinical and cognitive assessment conducted by a physician.

* Adherence to SCD-I criteria.
* Attendance at primary care consultation with memory complaints lasting more than 6 months.
* Absence of a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment or dementia.
* Onset of subjective cognitive decline in the last 5 years.
* Concerns related to subjective cognitive decline (not associated with an acute event) expressed by the participant and/or an informant.
* Cognitive performance within the normal range on cognitive tests (MMSE (Mini Mental State Exam) \< 26 / MIS (Memory Impairment Screen) \< 6).
* No severe depressive symptoms, indicated by scores \> 17\* on the 30-item Geriatric Depression Scale.

Inclusion criteria No impairment group:

* Cognitive performance within the normal range on cognitive tests (MMSE \< 26 / MIS \< 6).
* Absence of a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment or dementia.
* Not meeting the criteria for SCD-I \[21\].
