Neuropsychological assessment batteries, which traditionally require lengthy administration times, may be composed of multiple tests which measure essentially the same performance attributes. Test redundancies of this nature compromise the adequacy of a test battery from a cost containment perspective. The present study evaluated the common and unique variance of the WAIS relative to a modified and expanded Halstead-Reitan test battery to determine if information obtained from the WAIS is sufficiently nonredundant to justify its inclusion as part of this assessment battery. Cross-validated estimates of bivariate and multivariate relationships between these instruments were generated from two samples (n = 125) of epileptics. Results indicated statistically significant redundancies, yet, when interpreted from a clinical perspective it was evident that neuropsychological tests could not accurately duplicate information provided by the WAIS. Accordingly, it was not recommended that the WAIS be eliminated from this test battery in order to reduce test administration time.
传统上需要较长施测时间的神经心理评估成套测验，可能由多个测量基本相同表现属性的测试组成。从成本控制的角度来看，这种性质的测试冗余会损害成套测验的充分性。本研究评估了韦氏成人智力量表（WAIS）相对于经过修改和扩展的霍尔斯特德-雷坦成套测验的共同方差和独特方差，以确定从WAIS获得的信息是否足够不冗余，足以证明将其作为该评估成套测验的一部分是合理的。这些工具之间的双变量和多变量关系的交叉验证估计值来自癫痫患者的两个样本（n = 125）。结果表明存在统计学上显著的冗余，然而，从临床角度解释时，很明显神经心理测试无法准确复制WAIS提供的信息。因此，不建议为了减少测试施测时间而从该成套测验中剔除WAIS。
