dc.description.abstractThere is great need for an effective neurocognitive screening tool in South Africa. The outdated and diagnostically limited Mini Mental State Exam (MMSE) is currently the only widespread form of cognitive screening. This and virtually all other neurocognitive tests widely used in South Mrica were developed in Europe and North America and are inappropriate for South Africa's population. The present study aided in the development and validation of the first theory-driven neurocognitive screening tool specifically designed for South Africans, focusing on the Language and Spatial Cognition sections of the battery. Two tests - the Naming Test and the 3-D Analysis Test - were both adapted and re-piloted before their insertion into the Neurocognitive Battery ahead of its validation.en_ZA
