✦ Synopsis
procedure or those who were not called brain damaged and were normal on every diagnostic procedure. Ignoring for the moment the relatively pronounced selection factors that operate in such a situation, one would have established conditions where, by definition, only the neuropsychological examination was free to vary and produce false positives or false negatlves. Thus, one could not reasonably compare the results of neuropsychological assessment in such cases with those of the nebuodiagnostic procedures.
For the present, it is apparent that much more research is needed into the differential accuracy rates of various neurodiagnostic and neuropsychological procedures. There is a special need to determine the types of diseases that each is able to classify and the types of conditions that each is likely to miss.
