Abstract

There is real interest in semantic memory organisation in early cognitive decline right now, and real uncertainty about exactly
where it delivers the most value. We pull together the current evidence for semantic memory organisation in early cognitive
decline, covering the methodological, practical, regulatory and cost angles, with an eye on where practice has genuinely settled
and where researchers and reviewers are still largely working it out for themselves. Selective, context-specific pursuit looks better
supported by the evidence gathered here than either broad rollout or blanket avoidance.
