Objective: The primary goals of this systematic review were to assess studies of homeless adults and cognitive functioning, and to explore the clinical implications and potential impacts on social functioning of these cognitive deficits. Method:The MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Applied Social Sciences Index and Abstracts, ERIC, Social Sciences Abstracts, Social Sciences Citation Index, Social Services Abstracts, and Sociological Abstracts databases were searched from 1970 (or their inception) to October 2007. Abstracts from 582 studies were screened and 22 studies were found to meet inclusion criteria (published in the English language, reported results of neuropsychological tests, or screening tests for cognitive dysfunction in homeless people aged 18 years or older). Two investigators independently reviewed each study and rated its quality based on well-defined criteria.Results: Ten studies were of good or fair quality. Studies that administered the Mini Mental State Examination indicate about 4% to 7% of homeless people exhibit global cognitive deficits. Focal deficits in verbal and visual memory, attention, speed of cognitive processing, and executive function were also apparent. No studies of the functional implications of cognitive deficits were found.

“…For the clinical groups only, AST errors, particularly pronunciation errors, were related negatively to WRAT reading and spelling scores. The Reitan and Wolfson (1988) severity ratings for AST items did not improve group discrimination.The Reitan-Indiana Aphasia Screening Test (AST) is Reitan's (Reitan, 1984) 32-item modification of the 5 l-item instrument originally developed by Halstead and Wepman (1949). The AST has been validated carefully on neurologically diagnosed patient groups (Wheeler, 1963;Wheeler & Reitan, 1962) in order to identify "pathognomonic signs" of brain dysfunction.…”

This study used an Aphasia Screening Test (AST) abbreviated to its naming, pronunciation, and sentence interpretation items to compare groups of 60 learning‐disabled (LD), 30 head‐injured (HI), and 30 nondisabled (ND) young adults matched for FISQ and balanced for gender composition. The LD and HI, who did not differ, made significantly more AST errors than the ND. One‐quarter to one‐third of the LD and HI subjects exhibited language deficits. For the clinical groups only, AST errors, particularly pronunciation errors, were related negatively to WRAT reading and spelling scores. The Reitan and Wolfson (1988) severity ratings for AST items did not improve group discrimination.

“…A brief review will help to distinguish these approaches and will provide a basis for establishing what the appropriate use of this test might be. Halstead and Wepman (1949) report that the original AST devised by Halstead at the outset of World War I1 contained 40 scored responses from 30 stimulus items presented on a cardboard disk device. A slightly revised version was adopted by the US Army in 1945.…”
