Improved detection of cognitive impairment with the NART: an investigation employing hierarchical discriminant function analysis.
A series of discriminant function analyses was performed to examine the ability of the WAIS and NART to discriminate between healthy subjects and patients with dementia/cortical atrophy. Inclusion of NART estimated IQs in the analyses resulted in significantly greater discrimination than was achieved by WAIS IQs alone.
