Normative data for healthy elderly persons with the neurobehavioral cognitive status exam (Cognistat).

Full Abstract

This study provides normative data about the cognitive functioning of 134 nonpsychiatric, non-neurological healthy elderly persons ranging from 60 to 85 years of age with the Neurobehavioral Cognitive Status Examination (Cognistat). Most areas of cognitive functioning remain grossly intact for all age levels. Construction and memory showed evidence of decline with age. These findings were compared with previous normative research with the Cognistat.
