“…The HRB was selected because these tests provide reasonably comprehensive measurement of adaptive capacities dependent upon brain functions and have been shown to be a valid, non-invasive neurodiagnostic technique (Filskov & Goldstein, 1974;Reitan & Davison, 1974). Moreover, because the HRB assesses a broad range of cognitive, perceptual, and motor activities, results were expected 'Reprint requests should be made to Gary T.

Administered the Halstead‐Reitan Battery (HRB) of neuropsychological tests to 24 patients with advanced renal failure, 24 patients with neurological disorders, and 24 patients with medical and/or non‐psychotic psychiatric conditions in order to assess the effects of uremic encephalopathy on human neuropsychological functioning. The groups did not differ significantly in age, education, verbal intelligence, or level of affective disturbance. Results indicated that the uremic and neurological groups were equal in overall level of neuropsychological impairment and that both were significantly more impaired than the medical‐psychiatric group. However, the uremic group showed a pattern of deficits that was qualitatively different from both the neurological and medical‐psychiatric groups. Results were discussed with reference to selective cortical dysfunctions in uremia and contrasted with earlier studies that did not consider differential sparing of abilities in renal patients.

“…In more recent years, several studies [Bartlett and Bartlett, 1959;Michon, 1966] have investigated the characteris tics of the oscillatory neural mechanism of tapping to an equally spaced sequence of stimuli. The tapping test has also been used as one of the measures of mo tor behaviour in the Halstead-Reitan Battery for the diagnosis of organic brain dysfunction [Filskov and Goldstein, 1974].…”

Tapping responses were recorded in a group of patients who sustained lesions from cerebrovascular accidents and from an age-matched group of healthy subjects. In each experiment the stimuli were an auditory signal, a flash, or a light touch on the arm, delivered either at random intervals or at fixed time intervals of 1, 2, 3, or 4 s. The tapping response was done with each hand separately (first experiment) or with each hand alternately (second experiment). Healthy subjects, ''predicted'' the stimuli (response time less than 150 ms), when the ''preferred'' fixed time interval was used. One group of patients (n = 3), did not predict the stimuli at the preferred fixed intervals when tapping was done with the hand related to the involved hemisphere. The second group of patients (n = 3) did not predict the stimuli when tapping was done with either hand.

“…The Tapping Test, a measure of fine-motor finger oscillation, is one portion of the Halstead-Reitan Battery for diagnosis of organic brain dysfunction (Filskov & Goldstein, 1974;Reitan, 1974). The test promises great usefulness, but it has shown unwanted bias by age, sex, handedness, and ethnicity (Andrew, 1977a, 19'78a).…”

“Optimal” Lateralization on the Tapping Test

The present study was designed to test the general "imbalance" hypothesis in regard to the Tapping Test, a motor measure of finger-oscillation speed from the Halstead-Reitan neuropsychological battery. The study was prompted by a recent spate of reports linking cerebral lateralization to a variety of conditions. It was hypothesized that it would be possible to determine an "optimal," midrange of lateralization, to be identified by faster tapping speeds. As hypothesized, those offenders with "moderate" laterality achieved faster speeds than those with "extreme" laterality ("extreme" defined as either less or more laterality than for the moderates). The same range appeared optimal over several demographic groups. A second goal of the present study was to pursue hints from a previous study that had suggested a lateralization measure might prove to be free of some unwanted variations by demographics. As hypothesized, the lateralization measure appeared free of variations according to age, sex, and handedness. Applications and future directions were suggested.
