IMPROVED DETECTION OF COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT WITH THE NART - AN INVESTIGATION EMPLOYING HIERARCHICAL DISCRIMINANT FUNCTION-ANALYSIS

Inclusion of NART estimated IQs in the analyses resulted in significantly greater discrimination than was achieved by WAIS IQs alone. 1990 The British Psychological Society
