| Popis: | The Halstead-Reitan battery (HRB) has been extensively used in clinical neuropsychology and numerous research studies have demonstrated its validity for neurodiagnostic and other applications (Reitan & Wolfson, 1993). The HRB typically includes the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) or one of its revisions (WAIS-R or WAIS-III), as well as several other measures: the Lateral Dominance Examination, a measure to determine left versus right preference for the hand, foot, and eye; the Reitan-Indiana Aphasia Screening Test, a modification of the Halstead-Wepman Aphasia Screening test to monitor various aspects of language function such as naming, repetition, and comprehension; the Finger Tapping Test, a test of motor speed with the upper extremities; the Hand Dynamometer test of grip strength; the Sensory-Perceptual Examination, a series of subtests to measure tactile, visual, and auditory function; the Tactile Form Recognition Test; the Seashore Rhythm Test and Speech Sounds Perception Test, measures of auditory attention and the ability to discriminate among auditory stimuli; the Trailmaking Test—Parts A and B, which measure sustained attention, perceptualmotor speed, and flexibility of thinking; the Tactual Performance Test, a measure of perceptual-motor problem solving, learning, and incidental memory; the Category Test, a complex test of abstraction and problem solving; and a version of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) (Reitan & Wolfson, 1993). Often the HRB is supplemented by various tests of learning and memory such as the Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS) or one of its versions (WMS-R or WMS-III). A somewhat modified version of the HRB also has been developed and validated for use with older children (ages 9 to 14), and there is a much more extensively modified Reitan-Indiana Neuropsychological Test Battery for young children (ages 5 to 8; Reitan & Wolfson, 1993). |
