The accuracy of prediction of brain dysfunction for three neuropsychological tests-the Weigl, the Hooper, and the Benton-was compared. Sixty-six male, veteran, psychiatric inpatients were administered all three tests, and diagnoses of brain dysfunction or intactness were made by their ward psychiatrist, who used neurodiagnostic techniques. The results disclosed that each test alone can predict brain dysfunction significantly better than chance. All chi 2 tests were significant at the .025 level or better. When the Weigl was used as a moderator variable with the Hooper and also with the Benton, the p values for each test were somewhat reduced (p = .005 and .01), an indication of improvement in predictive power. When the percentage of predictive accuracy (hit rates) for the three tests used alone and in combination was analyzed, it was shown that the hit rate is increased by combining the Weigl with the Hooper and also with the Benton. It is increased further by combining all three tests into a predictive index.
对三种神经心理学测试——韦格尔测试、胡珀测试和本顿测试——预测脑功能障碍的准确性进行了比较。对66名男性退伍精神科住院患者进行了所有这三项测试,其病房精神科医生采用神经诊断技术对脑功能障碍或正常情况进行了诊断。结果显示,每项测试单独使用时,对脑功能障碍的预测能力都显著优于随机水平。所有卡方检验在0.025水平或更高水平上均具有显著性。当将韦格尔测试作为调节变量与胡珀测试以及本顿测试一起使用时,每项测试的p值有所降低(p = 0.005和0.01),这表明预测能力有所提高。当分析单独使用和组合使用这三项测试时的预测准确率(命中率)百分比时,结果表明,将韦格尔测试与胡珀测试以及本顿测试组合使用会提高命中率。将所有三项测试组合成一个预测指标时,命中率会进一步提高。
