Abstract
One of the major questions that has arisen in the field of neuropsychology deals with the effectiveness of the Luria-Nebraska Neuropsychological Battery as compared with the Halstead-Reitan Neuropsychological Battery, which has been recognized by many as the preeminent standardized battery. The present study compared the major 14 scores of the Halstead-Reitan battery with the 14 summary scale scores of the Luria-Nebraska battery to investigate whether the batteries could predict one another and their effectiveness in a common sample of 48 brain-damaged and 60 normal patients. Discriminant analysis found both batteries equally effective in identifying brain damage, with hit rates over 85%. A high degree of relationship (all Rs > .71, p < .05) between the Luria-Nebraska scale scores and the selected 14 scores of the Halstead-Reitan was found. The recent introduction of the Luria-Nebraska Neuropsychological Battery, an attempt at the standardization of the qualitative work of the Russian neuropsychologist A. R. Luria, has elicited considerable interest from clinicians and researchers in the field of clinical neuropsychology. One of the major questions that has arisen is the relationship between the effectiveness of the Luria-Nebraska Neuropsychological Bat
