“…Schemata such as the Luria-Nebraska (or, for that matter, the Halstead procedures), which are validated primarily with respect to the accuracy with which they classify brainimpaired subjects, are hard pressed on the current results to contribute to a more fundamental understanding of neurobehavioral systems (Delis & Kaplan, 1983; Goldstein & Shelly, 1984; Satz & Fletcher, 1981; Sears, Hirt, & Hall, 1984). This is not to deny, however, the clinical merits of either the Halstead procedures or the more newly developed Luria-Nebraska.…”

The pattern and level of performance on the WAIS‐R and the Luria‐Nebraska's Intelligence, Memory, and Motor Scales were examined for 93 neurologically impaired adults. Maximum likelihood factor analyses of the W AIS‐ R indicated the presence of strongly correlated (.72) Verbal Commprehension and Perceptual Organization dimensions. Comparisons of these factors to those of the standardization group revealed an acceptable level of similarity (.94) for Verbal Comprehension, but not for Perceptual Organization (.53). Canonical correlations between WAIS‐R factor scores and the three Luria‐Nebraska scaled scores accounted for 82% of the total variance. Each set of procedures evidently is indexing the same theoretical constructs. Implications of these findings for our understanding of the measurement models that underlie clinical neuropsychology are discussed.
