This study examines whether temporal characteristics in a collaborative referencing task are associated with cognitive function and the volumes of brain regions involved in speech production and known to be reduced in mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's pathology. We also explored the discriminative ability of the temporal speech measures for the classification of mild cognitive impairement and Alzheimer's disease.
