Abstract
Abstract This study compared a group of control subjects with a group of brain-damaged subjects to determine whether “specific” neuropsychological measures were more sensitive to cerebral damage than “general” neuropsychological tests. The historical interest in localization and lateralization of cerebral functions has produced a strong emphasis on specific deficits, while general deficits, characterized by more complex functions, have received less directed attention. The results indicated that the general measures were significantly more sensitive to cerebral damage than were the specific measures. These findings identify the need for further investigation of the relationships between specific and general neuropsychological tests, since both types of tests are of value in comprehensive evaluations of individual subjects.
