Abstract

This chapter examines the diagnostic utility of various non-cognitive screening instruments, examining functional, behavioural and psychiatric, neurovegetative, and informant scales, in the diagnosis of cognitive disorders. Methods to compare these tests in terms of various diagnostic parameters are also considered. The diagnostic utility of combinations of scales is also examined.
