Abstract
Elderly individuals living in four long-term care settings were trained in two three-member equivalence classes. Their ability to demonstrate equivalence responding was then tested. The same individuals were also tested on the Mini Mental Status Examination (a screening instrument commonly used with the elderly to test for cognitive impairment. The MMSE consists of 11 questions with a total possible score of 30). Results showed that 90% of those residents who scored 27 or above in the MMSE demonstrated equivalence responding whilst those who scored 26 or below did not. Interestingly, the authors of the MMSE note that a test score of 23 or below is indicative of cognitive impairment.
