Data from 53 geriatric patients who received rehabilitation treatment at the SCO Hospital in Ottawa, Canada between 1992 and 1997 were collected, on an archival basis. Patients began a graduated self-medication program after undergoing a neuropsychological evaluation. Performance scores from five different aspects of cognition were regressed on the self-medication training outcome measures. Findings revealed that aspects of cognitive functioning were significantly related to the outcome of self-medication training. Thus, psychometric measures of cognition can be useful in predicting which patients are most likely to benefit from a self-medication program, or alternatively, those who would require a modified program to be able to learn. The clinical implications of these results are discussed.
