Comparisons among neo-Lurian assessment measures of brain-injured adults.
The performances of 49 brain-injured community college students (41% women; M age = 34.0 yr., SD = 13.6) on two neo-Lurian assessment batteries were investigated. Pearson correlations among the 11 clinical subtests of the Luria-Nebraska Neuropsychological Battery, Form I and 10 Planning, Attention, Simultaneous Processing, and Successive Processing (PASS) experimental tasks are reported. While the correlations were largely weak to moderate, a few interpretable trends in these relationships emerged. Over-all, the irregular and diffuse pattern of significant correlations may, in part, reflect the heterogeneity of the Luria-Nebraska battery's subscales. Implications for the cognitive assessment and remediation of patients with brain injuries are briefly discussed.
