senility: Wechsler scores and senility in elderly men

In louisaslett/durham-Rpkg: Durham University R Package

Description

Forty-nine elderly men participating in an interdisciplinary study of aging were classified into the diagnostic categories “senile factor present” (12 subjects) and “no senile factor” (37 subjects) on the basis of an intensive psychiatric examination. The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) had been administered to all subjects by an independent investigator, and certain sub-tests (information, similarities, arithmetic, and picture completion) showed large differences between the two groups.
