Abstract

Eighteen studies reporting Halstead-Reitan (HR) Neuropsychological Battery test performances for over 1000 non-brain damaged subjects were reviewed. Substantial empirical normative data is available only for a group of middle-aged adults characterized by relatively high intelligence and education. Serious methodological flaws in Halstead's original work, changes in the administration of HR Battery over the years, as well as variations in subsequent normative data suggest the traditional Halstead cutting scores are inappropriate. Norms for a composite “meta-sample” were reported. Noting that the HR test scores are valid concommitants of neuropsychological dysfunction, specific areas needing empirical elucidation are outlined.
