In this study, the differences in Clock Drawing Test(CDT) scores among healthy elderlies, schizophrenics, and demented elderlies groups were investigated, and the characteristics of their drawings were compared. The subjects of this study were 68 healthy elderlies, 72 schizophrenics patients, and 73 demented elderlies in Daegu and Gyeongbuk area. They took CDT. The scores of the test were obtained using the 10-score system suggested in Rouleau, Salmon & Butters(1996). Covariate analyses and cross analyses were conducted. Outcomes of this study are as follows: First, In the clock plate and number domains, the demented elderlies group showed a lower score than the healthy elderlies and schizophrenics groups; in the hand domain, the schizophrenics and demented elderlies groups showed lower scores than the healthy elderlies group; and in terms of the CDT total score, the healthy elderlies group showed the highest level followed by the schizophrenics and demented elderlies groups. Second, in terms of the five error types except preservation, such as clock size, level of drawing difficulty, stimulation constraint, concept defect, and number arrangement error, significant differences were observed according to the symptoms. In summary, the schizophrenics group showed a lower level of clock drawing performance than the healthy elderlies group, and the demented elderlies group than the schizophrenics patient group. The differences in the CDT score and error type among the healthy elderlies, schizophrenics, and demented elderlies groups, which were obtained from this study, may help enhance their clinical applicability.
