Although previous studies have demonstrated the general success of neuropsychological tests in discriminating brain-impaired patients from normals and patients with psychiatric disorders, limited attention has addressed the more specific effects of emotional disturbance on test performance. This study investigated MMPI correlates of Halstead-Reitan test (HRB) performance in a sample of 105 neuropsychological referrals (predominantly psychiatric) who had negative neurologic findings. The results indicated significant effects for age and education on many of the tests, with smaller but statistically significant relationships between the quality of HRB test performance and MMPI scores.
尽管先前的研究已经证明神经心理学测试在区分脑损伤患者与正常人和精神疾病患者方面总体上是成功的,但对于情绪障碍对测试表现的更具体影响关注较少。本研究调查了105名神经心理学转诊患者(主要是精神科患者)样本中明尼苏达多相人格测验(MMPI)与霍尔斯特德-雷坦测验(HRB)表现的相关性,这些患者的神经系统检查结果为阴性。结果表明,年龄和教育程度对许多测试有显著影响,HRB测试表现质量与MMPI分数之间的关系较小但具有统计学意义。
