Both the Luria-Nebraska Neuropsychological Battery (LNNB) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were administered to 48 consecutively referred patients. These consecutively seen patients comprised 25 cases of confirmed brain damage and 23 cases of "suspected" or questionable damage. Product-moment correlations were calculated between the BDI and three LNNB-derived indices of impairment. No relationship was found between depression and any of the LNNB performance indicators, indicating that the battery may be robust in the presence of depression. Necessary constraints on this implication were discussed and explicated in light of the concurrent need to evaluate new neuropsychological instruments in realistic clinical contexts.
对48例连续转诊的患者进行了鲁利亚-内布拉斯加神经心理成套测验（LNNB）和贝克抑郁量表（BDI）测试。这些连续就诊的患者包括25例确诊脑损伤病例和23例“疑似”或有疑问的损伤病例。计算了BDI与LNNB得出的三个损伤指标之间的积差相关系数。未发现抑郁与任何LNNB表现指标之间存在关联，这表明该成套测验在存在抑郁的情况下可能具有较强的稳定性。鉴于在实际临床环境中评估新的神经心理工具的同时需要，对这一结论的必要限制进行了讨论和阐述。
