Psychological practice in geriatric problems
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 February 2018
Extract
The argument to be put forward in this paper is that the way in which psychometric tests are often employed in geriatric problems may be less useful and, indeed, less sensible than is generally supposed. This applies to straightforward “intelligence testing” as well as to so-called “diagnostic testing”. It is recommended that the principles and practices of experimental psychology should be applied to these problems instead.
