The picture version of the Free and cued selective reminding test with immediate recall is a test adept at measuring the memory encoding and the effect of semantic cues. Furthermore, it is sensitive to detect early dementia stages. This study aimed to obtain psychometric properties of visual Buschke and Grober The Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test (FCSRT) in healthy older adults, mild neurocognitive disorders, and major neurocognitive subjects on a Chilean population. METHOD 226 participants were included, 113 healthy older adults (HOA), 65 mild neurocognitive disorder (NCD) subjects, and 48 major NCD. Each individual was assessed with the same protocol. RESULTS The observed area under the curve (AUC) was higher than .90 in all the FCSRT measures in the major cognitive disorders and healthy older people. CONCLUSION according to the AUCs, it was shown that Free Recall, Sensitivity to Cueing Index, and Delay Recall of the FCSRT are suitable to detect major neurocognitive disorders.
