Contemporary manuals on neuropsychological assessment advocate the interpretation of deficits in rhythm test performance as related to right temporal lobe dysfunction. There have been very few empirical tests of this interpretation. Despite the fact that there are theoretical reasons to suspect that the right temporal lobe is involved in the processing of nonverbal auditory information, there are absolutely no concurrent validity data that support this hypothesized relationship for either of the rhythm tests of the Halstead-Reitan or Luria-Nebraska Neuropsychological Batteries. Therefore, clinicians are cautioned with regard to this popular interpretation of rhythm test performance deficits.
当代神经心理学评估手册主张将节奏测试表现中的缺陷解释为与右侧颞叶功能障碍有关。对这一解释进行的实证检验非常少。尽管有理论依据怀疑右侧颞叶参与非言语听觉信息的处理，但对于哈雷特-雷顿神经心理成套测验或鲁利亚-内布拉斯加神经心理成套测验中的任何一项节奏测试，绝对没有同时效度数据支持这种假设的关系。因此，临床医生在对节奏测试表现缺陷进行这种普遍解释时应谨慎。
