The clinical effectiveness and concurrent validity of Luria-Nebraska Neuropsychological Battery (LNNB) was assessed in a sample of 30 brain-damaged and 30 non-patient, normal control subjects. Both the groups were matched for age, sex and education. There were highly significant differences between the mean scale scores of the two groups on all LNNB clinical scales. Brain damaged patients did poorer than normal controls. The LNNB had a hit rate of86.66% in diagnosing brain-damaged patients in comparison to 70% and 52% of EEG and CT scan respectively. The three measures were found to be significantly correlated with each other. The LNNB was found to be an effective instrument for neuropsychological assessment.
在一个由 30 名脑损伤患者和 30 名非患者、正常对照组组成的样本中,评估了 Luria-Nebraska 神经心理学电池 (LNNB) 的临床有效性和同时效度。两组在年龄、性别和教育程度上相匹配。两组在所有 LNNB 临床量表的平均量表分数上存在显著差异。脑损伤患者的表现明显不如正常对照组。与 EEG 和 CT 扫描的 70%和 52%相比,LNNB 在诊断脑损伤患者方面的准确率为 86.66%。这三种方法相互之间被发现存在显著相关性。LNNB 被证明是一种有效的神经心理评估工具。
