Description
Summary:The current study examined the concurrent validity of a new short form of Luria—Nebraska Neuropsychological Battery (LNNB). LNNB profiles of 100 subjects of a mixed brain damaged, psychiatric and normal pool were obtained from previously published sources. Levy corrected correlations among both the odd and even number short-forms with the full test ranged from .81 to .90. For the entire sample, absolute numbers of scales above the critical level, number of cases following within a given range of the critical level, and number of cases within each subscale exceeding the critical level were computed. Chi square values revealed significant differences only for the visual, reading, and memory subscales exceeding the critical level.
