			The SIB has become a benchmark assessment used extensively in worldwide clinical trials by drug companies seeking to develop treatments to combat Alzheimer&#39;s disease.

			<h2>Benefits</h2>

			<ul>
				<li>The SIB gathers direct performance-based data on a wide variety of low-level tasks which take into account the specific behavioural and cognitive deficits associated with severe dementia</li>
				<li>Enhances our understanding of the disease process and provides valuable clinical information regarding the later stages of dementia</li>
				<li>Evaluates cognitive abilities at the lower end of the range</li>
			</ul>

			<h2>Features</h2>

			<ul>
				<li>It is composed of simple one-step commands and gestural cues, and it allows for a variety of simple responses</li>
				<li>Brief evaluations of praxis, social interaction and orienting to name</li>
			</ul>

			The SIB is designed to be psychometrically reliable and allows for repeated assessments. Each subscale yields scores to assess mild to moderate dementia.

			The six major subscales are:

			<ul>
				<li>Attention</li>
				<li>Orientation</li>
				<li>Language</li>
				<li>Memory</li>
				<li>Visuo-spatial ability</li>
				<li>Construction</li>
			</ul>
