Samenvatting	The Abbreviated Mental Test (AMT) is a brief, 10-item cognitive screening instrument developed by Hodkinson in 1972 and originally published in Age and Ageing. It was specifically designed to quickly assess cognitive function in older hospitalized patients, detecting delirium and dementia in acute hospital settings. The AMT is valued for its simplicity, brevity (2–3 minutes), and utility in fast-paced clinical environments where quick cognitive triage is essential.	The Mattis Dementia Rating Scale (DRS) is a comprehensive 36-item clinician-administered neuropsychological battery designed to assess and quantify cognitive decline in dementia. Developed by Sandra Mattis in 1988, the DRS measures five major cognitive domains—attention, initiation/perseveration, construction, conceptualization, and memory—and provides both a total score and subscale scores. The DRS is particularly valued in neurodegenerative disease research and clinical settings for its sensitivity to cognitive change over time and its utility in detecting cognitive impairment across the dementia spectrum.
