AnnotationThe lack of a reliable self-report for dementia presents difficulties for research. In the later stages of dementia, behavioural measurement can be the only tool available for evaluating treatment techniques. This paper describes and evaluates a short observational tool suitable for clinical assessment purposes, having the potential for adequate inter-rater reliability, test-retest reliability, convergent and divergent validity, and sensitivity to clinical change.
