These measures should be efficient, designed to reflect both the current knowledge of brain function and the developmental characteristics of older patients. Though few current measures of cognitive function meet these goals, neuropsychological ''microbatteries'' such as the DRS and NCSE may serve as models for a new generation of cognitively specific assessment instruments.en-USJournal Article2019-08-1910.1006/brcg.1996.0037
