Description
Summary:Until now, clinical neuropsychologists had few guidelines to assist them in determining if a change in a patient's performance across assessments was due to an intervention, maturation, practice effects or a combination of factors. The editors of Practitioner's Guide to Evaluating Change With Neuropsychological Assessment Instruments have done a thorough review of the literature from 1970-1998 and extracted and compiled all reported information on practice effects. Each table in this volume includes information on the subject/patient groups, the n, gender, age, intervention, interval between assessments, scores at both assessment points, and the original reference citation. The tables are listed alphabetically for the seventy-five most widely used assessment instruments. This one-of-a-kind reference will provide clinicians, as well as researchers with an invaluable resource.
