I agree with what Jordi said. I would add to it that it can be very helpful to differentiate between subjective cognitive impairment and subjective cognitive decline. A different 2014 paper by Frank Jessen argues for using the term subjective cognitive decline in research on aging/neurodegenerative disorders, given the progressive nature of these diseases. I've found this paper really helpful in conceptualizing these ideas.

We tried to differrentiate rather objective self-perceived cognitive impairments from more subjective worrying about memory by means of a checklist for cognitive blackouts.
