title: [Psychologic diagnostic methods in the study of brain-damaged children].
abstract: In a survey the author describes the present state of experimental identification of the psychic consequences of slight early-childhood brain damages to intelligence, perception, motoricity, concentration, memory, and personality structure. It is even with the most useful psychological methods that only significant group differences between brain-damaged and healthy children may be found, which do not allow a completely reliable individual diagnosis. An increase in the reliability of such psychodiagnostic methods should be attempted to be realized by a combination of the most revealing individual tests into so-called batteries, refinement of the investigative technique used for their calibration, and homogenization of the groups of test subjects taken as a base.
