Abstract

In this chapter we survey advances in child neuropsychological assessment by focusing on the construct validity of three major instruments. One is the progenitor of child neuropsychological batteries, the Halstead-Reitan Neuropsychological Test Battery for Older Children (HRB-OC); one is new, the Wide-Range Assessment of Memory and Learning (WRAML); and one is recently revised, the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Third Edition (WISC-III). A model of working memory (Aaron and Joshi, 1992; Baddeley, 1992) provides a framework for this survey.
