Abstract

The Mooney Closure Faces Test has been employed in several studies of right temporal-lobe function. However, the information provided by these studies is somewhat restricted because there has been no systematic attempt to determine what constitutes “normal” performance on this instrument. The present study attempts to rectify partially this situation by testing samples of three distinct populations (college students, vocational-technical students, and relatives of indigent patients) of neurologically intact subjects who differed in age, IQ, educational level, sex, and handedness. Regression showed all of these variables to be significantly correlated with performance on the Mooney Closure Faces Test. The final linear regression model was correlated 0.718 with the Mooney scores and resulted in predictions which were approximately 30% more accurate than those made using the mean of the entire sample alone.
