✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Objectives

The Kingston Standardized Cognitive Assessment—Revised (KSCA‐R) was designed to be a cognitive screening tool available to health professionals who were not trained in specialized cognitive assessment techniques. It was introduced to bridge the gap between brief, narrowly focused rating scales, and intensive, expensive, full neuropsychological assessments. We now present the Brief Kingston Standardized Cognitive Assessment—Revised (__Brief__KSCA‐R).

Methods

Groups of Alzheimer's disease patients, patients suffering from other dementias, and a group of normal community dwelling elderly were assessed using the __Brief__KSCA‐R.

Results

This shortened version of the full Kingston Standardized Cognitive Assessment—Revised can be given in half the time while retaining most of the full KSCA‐R's effectiveness.
