    Abstract Unlabelled: The Finger Tapping Test (FTT) and Grooved Pegboard Test (GPT) are commonly used in neuropsychological assessments. The performance of healthy older adults on these tasks has not been well characterized in the existing literature. The present study examines FTT and GPT performance in a sample of 307 community-dwelling older individuals (ages 55-74) with no neurological or psychiatric history.
    Results: FTT performance was influenced by age, gender, and education, while GPT performance was influenced by age and gender. Findings are presented for both hands, as well as dominant-to-non-dominant hand ratio score, on each test. Correlations with other neuropsychological measures demonstrated that the GPT is more strongly correlated with measures of most domains (memory, processing speed, executive functioning, and spatial organization) than the FTT.
    Conclusions: While the FTT can be used to measure upper extremity motor ability, the GPT may be more strongly associated with general cognitive functioning in healthy adults. The FTT and GPT results presented will improve the utility of these tasks in clinical assessments of older adults.

    Abstract This study examined whether there is a significant difference in performance on two different versions of the Test of Memory Malingering (TOMM; Tombaugh, 1996). Differences in performance were compared between the examiner-administered booklet version versus the self-administered computerized version. No statistically significant differences were found between performance on the two versions. These data indicate that the two versions of the TOMM produce equivalent performance, at least among college students. Further studies employing other populations are warranted.

    Abstract This study examined the efficacy of two screening batteries developed by Reitan and Wolfson [Reitan, R. M., & Wolfson, D. (2006). Issues in neuropsychology: Where have we succeeded? Where have we failed? What are the clinical and forensic implications? Presented at the 26th annual conference of the National Academy of Neuropsychology] for predicting neuropsychological impairment on the Halstead-Reitan Neuropsychological Test Battery for Older Children (ages 9-14) and the Reitan-Indiana Neuropsychological Test Battery (ages 5-8). Sixty-eight subjects were selected from archival data collected from cases in a private practice setting. Using Reitan and Wolfson's recommended screening battery neuropsychological deficit scale score (SBNDS) cut-off of 16/17 correctly classified 82.5% of older children as normal or impaired according to total GNDS scores. The screening battery for young children (n=28) resulted in 100% correct classification using Reitan and Wolfson's recommended SBNDS cut-off of 22/23.
