Patient is below the norm expected of their age, gender and level of education indicative of a clinically relevant memory problem.  If routine tests show no reversible cause for memory impairment, the patient should be referred on for further assessment.

Performance on the memory test was at the lower end of the normative range. The patient may benefit from additional assessment or monitoring over time.

Performance on the PAL memory test was in the normal range. There are no signs of memory impairment at this time.  Reassess in the future if the patient notices a worsening of memory.
