An evaluative study of Silver's Cerebral Function Test. Abstract Text:

The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of Silver's Cerebral Function Test in predicting the management and placement of patients admitted to a psychogeriatric hospital. Overall, 205 consecutively admitted patients and 54 age-matched controls living in the community were examined, thereby greatly extending the normative data for the test. The results indicated that this brief, easily administered test could distinguish the patients from the controls. Also, the selected cut-off score of 28 significantly differentiated between patients able to benefit from rehabilitation and occupational therapy programs and those who required primarily maintenance care. The test-retest reliability of the test was good (r = 0.91).
