Abstract
This paper presents a research criterion for memory impairment in aged persons based on the Guild Memory Test. Normative data for the test were collected from 228 community residents between 60 and 80 yr. of age. Separate norms were established for individuals aged 60 to 69 yr. and those beyond age 70 and, within both age groups, for persons at different levels of performance on the WAIS Vocabulary subtest. Discussion concerns the utility of the criterion.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
