Document Summary

Participants listen to a series of nonsense words, each comprising two consonants with a long e sound in the middle. Word they heard from a set of alternatives: this test measures left-hemisphere function, especially temporal and parietal areas. Extensive research has demonstrated that the battery is valid for detecting brain damage resulting from a variety of conditions, such as tumours, stroke, and head injury. This battery of tests can help the clinician discriminate, for example, between dementia due to depression and dementia due to a degenerative brain disease. The luria-nebraska battery: a battery of 269 items making up 11 sections to determine basic and complex motor skills; rhythm and pitch abilities; tactile and kinaesthetic skills, verbal and spatial skills Criterion validity has been established by findings such as a correct classification rate of over. Also believed to pick up effects of brain damage that are not (yet) detectable by neurological examination in the cognitive domain.
