Extract

This paper reports an attempt to determine the nature of dementia by analysing the results of mental tests applied to groups of patients clinically estimated to be demented in varying degree.

Previous investigations.—The relevant literature concerns the results of mental tests in psychosis and in normal senility. These topics having been recently fully surveyed elsewhere (Brody, 1942a), they need occupy no space here.
