This widely used battery takes the clinical procedures of neuropsychologist A. R. Luria and adds standardized administration and scoring to produce a comprehensive but convenient measure of neuropsychological functioning.

    The LNNB is used to diagnose cognitive deficits, including lateralization and localization of focal brain impairments. It also detects very specific problems, as well as mild impairment that might otherwise go unnoticed.

    Designed for individuals ages 15 and older, the LNNB has also been used successfully with 13- and 14-year-olds. It assesses a wide range of cognitive functions on the following scales:

    In addition, 28 factor scales reflect more specific sensory and cognitive functions.

    The LNNB can be administered in only 1.5 to 2.5 hours. Depending on the patient's condition, it can be given in a single session or in a series of brief sessions. Completely portable, it can even be given at bedside if necessary.

    The battery is available in two equivalent forms: Form I (269 items) and Form II (279 items). Although they yield similar information, Form II features improved Stimulus Cards that are much easier to use. They are spiralbound, rather than loose, and are arranged in the proper sequence. Also, Form II includes one additional scale, Intermediate Memory, which permits more detailed memory assessment. In addition, Form II is computer scored only, while Form I can be scored by hand or computer.

    Computer scoring is available using WPS TEST REPORT prepaid Mail-In Answer Sheets, Disk, or FAX Service. Each of these options gives you a complete interpretive report.
