ABSTRACT
Maudsley Tests of the Sensorium (used by clinicians to assess verbal memory and orientation) and Kendal's Memory for Design (used by psychologist to assess visual memory) were employed to differentiate between elderly patients with organic brain damage (neurologic disease, chiefly stroke) and those with functional psychiatric disorders which had been present in youth. There were 25 patients in each group. Both test differentiated organic from functional disorders. There was no statistically significant difference in the effectiveness of the two tests.
