Abstract

Benton Visual Retention Test is a neuropsychological method measuring disturbances in active attention and changes in short-term visual memory. It’s usually a reference to limitations in the spatial perception and organization. Various demographic specifics, diminishing of the general cognitive abilities and occurrence of brain pathology are all factors that influence the type abilities. The influence of the two demographic factors – “age” and “education”, was taken into consideration. Bentan Visual Retention Test (A) and Mini Мental State Examination were used as tools. The target group includes 141 tested persons, aged between 33 and 85.
