The Salford Objective Recognition Test (SORT) was developed as a measure of recognition memory suitable for use with elderly people as it requires a shorter administration time than Warrington's Recognition Memory Test. Normative data for the SORT were collected from 50 normal elderly people living in the community. Fifty stroke patients were assessed on the SORT and other tests of psychological functioning. The words and faces subtests were found to correlate well with other measures of memory. The SORT was found to be uninfluenced by the effects of sex and time since onset of stroke, but was affected by language difficulties and perception problems. The split-half reliability of the test was found to be good as alternative versions of the subtests correlated well with each other.
