| Annotation | The clock-drawing test is used for screening for cognitive impairment and dementia, and also as a measure of spatial dysfunction and neglect. This brief review describes different ways of performing the clock-drawing test, and the value of the test in screening for dementia and measuring spatial dysfunction and neglect. It is concluded that the test is easy to administer, is not threatening to the patient, takes little time, is easy to document graphically and can be used to document deterioration over time.
