title: [Computer-assisted assessment of psychologic performance in patients exposed to neurotoxic substances].
abstract: A clinico-experimental investigation was conducted to study subjects exposed to neurotoxic pollutants and contaminants by means of the Combitest 2 computer-aided psychometric method. To this end, sensopsychomotor, mnestic and intellectual performance as well as concentration power were evaluated. Single and multiple choice reaction tasks, termometer tracking and maximal tapping were found to be efficient screening methods. Pronounced relationships were seen to exist between psychometric test results and lead concentration levels in blood.
