This study examines the neuropsychological differences between juvenile delinquents and functional high school adolescents by means of the Bender-Gestalt test and the Luria Neuropsychological Investigation. Forty-one subjects were examined, twenty-eight delinquent subjects (15 female, 13 male, mean age 15.5 years) and thirteen control subjects (8 female, 5 male, mean age 15 years). Of the nine subtests in the Luria Battery, eight were found statistically significant, with cutaneous and kinesthetic functions being the only subtest which did not prove significant (greater than .025). Overall t analysis between the groups displayed significance at the .01 level. As was expected the delinquent group performed significantly higher on those functions requiring complex problem-solving and language abilities. On the Bender-Gestalt test of visio-motor abilities group, significance was displayed at the .05 level.
本研究通过本德尔—格式塔测验和鲁利亚神经心理学调查，考察青少年罪犯与正常高中生之间的神经心理学差异。共对41名受试者进行了检查，其中28名青少年罪犯（15名女性，13名男性，平均年龄15.5岁）和13名对照受试者（8名女性，5名男性，平均年龄15岁）。在鲁利亚成套测验的九个分测验中，有八个在统计学上具有显著意义，只有皮肤觉和动觉功能分测验未显示出显著差异（大于0.025）。两组之间的总体t检验在0.01水平上显示出显著性。正如预期的那样，青少年罪犯组在那些需要复杂问题解决能力和语言能力的功能测试中表现明显更高。在视觉运动能力的本德尔—格式塔测验中，两组差异在0.05水平上具有显著性。
