Revised ipsative comparison tables for the summary and localization scales of the luria-nebraska neuropsychological battery

Abstract

Revised tables for ipsative comparison of scores on the Luria-Nebraska Neuropsychological Battery (LNNB) were constructed based on coefficient alpha estimates of item consistency for each of the LNNB summary and localization profile scales. Separate ipsative score tables are provided for comparison of a single score with the mean of the basic 11 summary scales, the complete 14-scale summary profile, and each of the eight localization scores with the localization profile. The complementary roles of ipsative, normative, and qualitative item analyses across profiles is discussed as an integrated model for evaluation of LNNB results.
