Current paper analyzes the performance of elderly people diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment and with early phase Alzheimer´s Disease and healthy elderly people, by a set of neuropsychological tests. Statistical Analysis tests were significant when probability was < 0.05. Results showed that the neuropsychological tests discriminated cognitive deficits in the studied populations. There was a significant statistical association between all tests (when groups were compared) and clinical diagnosis. Patients with AD had the great slide in all tests when compared with patients with mild cognitive impairment and healthy elders. Neuropsychological standards are established and they will be of great help towards assessments and diagnoses. They will be an asset for more appropriate interdisciplinary measures of intervention in these populations.
