Abstract

The construct validity of the Reitan-Indiana Neuropsychological Test Battery (R-INB)for Children with a learning disabled population was examined. Forty-two subjects classified as learning disabled also were administered the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) and Wide Range Achievement Test (WRAT) subtests. Factor analysis of the data revealed four factors: verbal intelligence, psychomotor speed, achievement, and memory. Evidence from this study indicates that the overall construct paradigm as conceptualized by the author of the R-INB does not exist. Implications of these findings are discussed.
