THE SET TEST: A RAPID TEST OF MENTAL FUNCTION IN OLD PEOPLE
Department of Geriatric Medicins, Glasgow Royal Infirmary Group of Hospitals
The set test is a simple rapid test of mental function which requires the subject to recall items in four different common categories. The test was given to 64 apparently healthy elderly volunteers living in the community. The results of the test correlated closely with those obtained on standard lengthier procedures. The test is recommended as worthy of further trial in clinical and epidemiological settings.
