    Abstract Sensation and perception, as well as motor functions, have played an important role in the history of psychology. Although tests of these abilities are sometimes included in neuropsychological assessments, comparisons of intraindividual performances on the two sides of the body (as a basis for drawing conclusions and comparisons about the functional status of the two cerebral hemispheres) are in many instances neglected or considered only casually. This study, utilizing several motor and sensory-perceptual tests, compared intraindividual differences on the two sides of the body in a group of controls and a group of persons with brain damage. The results indicated that the sensory-perceptual tests were particularly effective in differentiating the groups. More than 60% of the group with brain damage had greater differences on the two sides of the body than did any of the controls. These findings suggest that a substantial proportion of persons with cerebral disease or damage may be subject to unequivocal identification using sensory-perceptual tests that take only about 20 minutes to administer. These tests may serve a valuable role as an adjunct to comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation and should be further evaluated in this respect.

    Abstract Neuropsychological tests that produce continuous distributions routinely show some degree of overlap between groups with and without brain damage, and there is an inevitable degree of uncertainty in group differentiation when using statistical inferential methods. Recognizing these circumstances, Pliskin, Ramati, and Sweeney (2007) recently stated that neuropsychological testing alone does not address the underlying basis (or brain damage) for cognitive changes that may be inferred from test results. The present study proposed that brain-based specific deficits, evaluated on a "present" or "absent" basis, might prove to be a valuable resource in supplementing interpretation of tests based on continuous distributions by providing, in many instances, unequivocal evidence of brain damage. Comparisons of controls with a group of brain-damaged persons, as reported in this study, strongly supported this proposal.

  7. Article: The use of serial testing in evaluating the need for comprehensive neuropsychological testing of adults.

    Abstract The aim of this study was to develop brief neuropsychological testing procedures that would identify adults (aged 15 and older) who need comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation. The tests used for screening were selected to (1) initially provide a broad catchment procedure followed by (2) a more diversified basis for prediction. The total time required to administer the screening measures is about 45 minutes. The criterion for the need for comprehensive testing was based on the General Neuropsychological Deficit Scale (GNDS), which summarizes 42 variables derived from the complete Halstead-Reitan Battery. The results indicated that the brief testing battery permitted accurate identification of persons who showed neuropsychological impairment based on comprehensive testing. Cutoff points were determined and guidelines were provided for use of the brief testing results.

    Abstract This study was designed to use a short, two-phase testing procedure to predict the outcome of a comprehensive neuropsychological examination among young children (aged 5-8 years). Phase 1, requiring less than 10 minutes to administer, predicted Phase 2 results and results of comprehensive testing with acceptable accuracy. Phase 2 testing evaluated both lower-level (sensory-motor) and higher-level functions, required about 45 minutes to administer, and also closely predicted the outcome of comprehensive testing. Cutoff scores for individual tests, areas of function, and the total score for preliminary testing were determined, and accuracy rates were identified. The results suggest that preliminary testing, as described in this article, may serve to identify young children who need a comprehensive neuropsychological examination.

    Abstract The aim of this study was to develop a short screening battery that would predict whether older children would show significant impairment on comprehensive neuropsychological testing. The screening battery was subdivided into two phases. Phase 1 was intended as a broad catchment effort; Phase 2 was designed to be a more detailed and selective procedure. Administration of the full set of screening tests requires about 45 minutes. Their predictive validity was assessed using the Neuropsychological Deficit Scale (NDS), which summarizes results in the entire Halstead-Reitan Neuropsychological Test Battery for Older Children. Cutoff scores and guidelines for interpretation of the screening tests were developed, and the results were substantially correct in identifying children who performed normally versus children who were impaired on the testing and therefore required comprehensive testing to evaluate their neuropsychological status and deficits.
