ABSTRACT
No satisfactory tests are available to a) document and b) monitor the short term effects of various pharmacological agents on early, and hopefully reversible, organic cognitive impairment in otherwise healthy individuals. A new test battery, Organiform Impairment Test (OFIT), is based on the clinical observation that impairment of the ability to operate simultaneously with a number of mental sets and stimuli is one of the first clinical manifestations in the early stages of organic brain pathology. This battery can be administered in 20-30 minutes and is partly automated. It has been standardized on 167 normal subjects in age ranges from 15 to 80 years. Any score below 50 on the battery in subjects under 80 years of age should be regarded with suspicion.
