Abstract
The standard Bender test and its repetition on Canter's BIP paper along with the WAIS Vocabulary and Block Designs were administered to 16 senile and 17 healthy elderly Ss. The defects of the senile Ss were clearly revealed by the tests but the conventional use of Bender error scores and the discrepancy between Vocabulary and Block Design scores would also identify at least a fourth of the healthy elderly as having mild to moderate deficit consistent with organic brain damage. On the other hand, the BIP reflected the normal perceptuomotor performance of the healthy Ss while retaining sensitivity to the degree of organicity of the senile Ss.Keywords
