The relationship between demographic variables and NART performance in normal subjects.

چکیده
The relationship between NART performance and demographic variables was examined in a group of subjects free of neurologic or psychiatric disorder (n = 201). NART estimated IQ was significantly correlated with education, social class and age. The correlation between age and NART IQ was no longer significant after partialling out either education or social class. There was no evidence of a curvilinear relationship between age and NART performance. There was no significant sex difference in NART performance. Nelson's (1982) report of a high split-half reliability was confirmed.

Assessing the validity of NART-estimated premorbid IQs in the individual case.
The National Adult Reading Test (NART: Nelson, 1982) has become the standard means of estimating premorbid intelligence. The danger in using the NART for this purpose is that it yields an invalid estimate if a client's performance on the test has suffered impairment. In the present study a sample of 659 healthy subjects was used to build a regression equation for the prediction of NART scores f...

Since its publication in 1982, the National Adult Reading Test (NART; Revised Version, NART-R) has become a widely accepted method for estimating premorbid levels of intelligence in neuropsychological research. However, the assumption that NART/NART-R performance is relatively independent of brain damage has been increasingly challenged in recent years. In a number of conditions, including Alzh...
متن کاملEstimating Premorbid Intelligence by Combining the Nart and Demographic Variables: an Examination of the Nart Standardisation Sample and Supplementary Equations
There are two main approaches to the-estimation of premorbid intelligence. One of these uses an oral reading test, the National Adult Reading Test (NART). The other estimates premorbid intelligence from demographic variables. It was recently reported that combining the NART and demographic variables in a multiple regression equation provides more accurate estimation of IQ than is afforded by ei...
