title: An approach to brief field testing for neurotoxicity.
abstract: A description is offered for a microcomputer-based testing system which utilizes an Apple II microcomputer with the Pascal language and additional hardware resources. Tasks implemented for the system have been selected to broadly sample cognitive functioning with some sensory and motor evaluation as well. Efforts to evaluate sensitivity, task interrelations, and reliability of measurement are described.
