摘要
The consistency of measures from informants' report and from objective testing, both incorporated into the CAMDEX interview, was tested for elderly persons with mild dementia (n=46), with moderate dementia (n=41), and without cognitive impairment (controls, N=56). Informants' reports permitted grading severity of dementia and provided measures of memory and mental functioning in everyday activities highly related to indices derived from objective testing.
