Classified independently 150 neuropsychiatric referrals into Definite (DBD), Suspected (SDB) or NO Brain Damage (NDB) groups on the basis of non‐neuropsychological evaluative data. Each S was examined with a brief, 2‐hour neuropsychologic screening battery, and the test data were analyzed by a stepwise linear discriminant function program. Statistical classifications were compared with criteria for NBD vs. SBD + DBD and for SBD vs. DBD groupings. Hit rates ranged from 95% for the former to 81.7% for the latter, with low false positives and negatives. Hit and miss rates were not as strong in a validation step, but exceeded chance levels.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
