Forty-four nondemented adults, over the age of 75 years, were tested at six-month intervals spanning two years. Study goals were to examine the validity of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R), to assess the long-term reliability of these instruments, and to examine the longitudinal profile of this sample. Results showed that the MMSE was moderately correlated with the WAIS-R. The MMSE had low internal consistency, although the total score behaved reliably across the five occasions. The WAIS-R scales showed a high degree of internal consistency and test-retest reliability. WAIS-R performance remained stable across occasions; however, decline was evident in the MMSE subtests of Attention and Language.
44名75岁以上的非痴呆成年人在两年内每隔六个月接受一次测试。研究目标是检验简易精神状态检查表（MMSE）和韦氏成人智力量表修订版（WAIS-R）的有效性，评估这些工具的长期可靠性，并研究该样本的纵向概况。结果显示，MMSE与WAIS-R呈中度相关。MMSE的内部一致性较低，尽管总分在五次测试中表现可靠。WAIS-R量表显示出高度的内部一致性和重测信度。WAIS-R的表现随时间保持稳定；然而，在MMSE的注意力和语言子测试中明显下降。
