Ecological validity of the Meyers Neuropsychological Battery.
Neuropsychologists are increasingly being asked to apply neuropsychological test results to real world functioning; however, neuropsychological tests are not usually constructed to do so, but instead are more concerned with diagnostic accuracy than with prediction of daily functioning. Using samples of 5,460 patients that did self-ratings and 2791 patients that had family ratings plus the Meyers Neuropsychological Battery (MNB), it was found that the family ratings were better predicted by neuropsychological test data than were self-ratings on the 38 item Patient Competency Rating Scale (PCRS). The R values for family ratings on the 36 regression equations ranged from .236 to .763. The results show that the ratings given patients by family members could be predicted by the neuropsychological test results. These findings can help the clinician to make broad statements regarding likely real-life functioning and also support the ecological validity of the tests that make up the MNB.
期刊介绍:
pplied Neuropsychology-Adult publishes clinical neuropsychological articles concerning assessment, brain functioning and neuroimaging, neuropsychological treatment, and rehabilitation in adults. Full-length articles and brief communications are included. Case studies of adult patients carefully assessing the nature, course, or treatment of clinical neuropsychological dysfunctions in the context of scientific literature, are suitable. Review manuscripts addressing critical issues are encouraged. Preference is given to papers of clinical relevance to others in the field. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor-in-Chief, and, if found suitable for further considerations are peer reviewed by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single-blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
