✦ Synopsis

The Kendrick cognitive tests for the elderly were administered to 42 elderly patients with SDAT, 32 normal elderly, 10 patients with depression and 20 elderly patients with multi-infarct dementia. The scores on KDCT and KOLT revealed significant differences between those who had dementia and those who had non-dementing illness. However, initial test patterns for KOLT and KDCT and test-retest patterns revealed some overlap. For diagnosis of dementia, if one uses the test-retest patterns assigned by Kendrick to the various diagnostic categories, the tests have a specificity of 100% and a sensitivity of only 39%, thus suggesting that they are of limited value in predicting the presence or absence of dementia in an individual.
