β¦ Synopsis
This study examined the factor structure of 68 affective, cognitive, and behavioral symptoms often reported with neurological impairment. The responses of 199 subjects to a behavioral inventory were submitted to an exploratory factor analysis. The results demonstrated that the instrument could be reduced to 16 homogeneous factors, which were able to explain 67% of the instrument's total variability. These factors were entered into a discriminant analysis that examined neurologically impaired patients and normal controls. Eleven of the 16 factors formed a linear composite that discriminated between these two groups with approximately 94% accuracy.
