“…The WAIS-R consistently predicts performance on the Luria-Nebraska's Intelligence, Memory, and Motor scales in an interpretable manner. In this regard, then, these results provide some evidence of the general clinical utility of the WAIS-R as a successor to the WAIS while they also strengthen impressions of the conceptual integrity of these three Luria-Nebraska scales (Golden, Ariel, Moses, Wilkening, McKay, & Macinnes, 1982). The magnitude of the overlap between the three Luria-Nebraska scales and the WAIS-R raises questions about the appropriateness of their common, joint inclusion in neuropsychological examinations.…”

The pattern and level of performance on the WAIS‐R and the Luria‐Nebraska's Intelligence, Memory, and Motor Scales were examined for 93 neurologically impaired adults. Maximum likelihood factor analyses of the W AIS‐ R indicated the presence of strongly correlated (.72) Verbal Commprehension and Perceptual Organization dimensions. Comparisons of these factors to those of the standardization group revealed an acceptable level of similarity (.94) for Verbal Comprehension, but not for Perceptual Organization (.53). Canonical correlations between WAIS‐R factor scores and the three Luria‐Nebraska scaled scores accounted for 82% of the total variance. Each set of procedures evidently is indexing the same theoretical constructs. Implications of these findings for our understanding of the measurement models that underlie clinical neuropsychology are discussed.

“…Neuropsychologic batteries such as the Halstead-Reitan and LNNB have been the subject of extensive research that has demonstrated their accuracy in detection of the presence and severity of cognitive impairment (23). Though the LNNB has been the subject of theoretical controversy (24,25), an empirical research literature has been accumulated in the past several years to show that the battery is reliable (26) and efficient in assessing higher cortical functions in neuropsychiatric samples (27,28).…”

The present study examined the ability of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), a cognitive screening test commonly employed in research and clinical applications, to predict level of performance on a comprehensive neuropsychological battery, the Luria-Nebraska Neuropsychological Battery (LNNB). The tests were administered to a diagnostically mixed sample of 90 psychiatric inpatients. Correlations between the tests were statistically significant but modest and the MMSE was not able to detect many patients who demonstrated significant deficits on the LNNB. Additional correlational analyses between the MMSE and the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised in a subset of patients (n = 72) also showed a modest relationship between these instruments. The results suggest that the MMSE may seriously underestimate cognitive impairment in samples exclusively composed of psychiatric patients, making it inappropriate to rely solely on this instrument to distinguish psychiatric patients with and without cognitive deficit.

“…This comprehensive battery consists of 14 subtests: motor function, rhythm, tactile function, visual function, receptive speech, expressive speech, writing, reading, arithmetic, memory, intellectual processes, pathognomonic, left hemisphere, and right hemisphere function (Golden et al, 1982). In addition to these general test batteries, there are numerous batteries that have been designed for assessment within specific populations, including HIV, neurotoxicity, traumatic brain injury, and dementia (Lezak et al, 2004).…”

Mental Health and Physical Activity

Numerous studies have examined the relationship between physical activity and cognitive function, demonstrating that greater physical activity is associated with lower incidence of cognitive impairment in later life. Due to an increasingly large number of older adults at risk for cognitive impairment, the relationship between physical activity and cognition has garnered increasing public health relevance and multiple randomized trials have demonstrated that exercise interventions among sedentary adults improve cognitive performance in multiple domains of function. This article will examine the relationship between physical activity and cognitive function by reviewing several different areas of literature, including the prevalence of cognitive impairment, assessment methods, observational studies examining physical activity and cognition, and intervention studies. The present review is intended to provide a historical tutorial of existing literature linking physical activity, exercise, and cognitive function among both healthy and clinical populations.
