โœฆ Synopsis

This paper describes a pilot study to assess the use of a microcomputer-based system for administering psychological tests to psychogeriatric patients. The study, which used a questionnaire of a type commonly used with such patients, showed that this method of assessment was feasible. It also showed the necessity of further development of hardware and software and highlighted some of the inherent problems in testing such a population.
