Abstract/Excerpt
Examined the intercorrelations between the items of the Memory scale (MS) of the Luria-Nebraska Neuropsychological Battery and the items on the remaining scales of the battery for 70 normal and 268 psychiatric or brain-damaged patients (mean age 40.4 yrs). Although the MS is primarily a measure of short-term memory functions, MS items showed significant correlations with nonmemory items across the test battery, emphasizing the importance of these functions in many tasks required in neuropsychological testing. An analysis of the correlations supports many of A. R. Luria's (1966, 1973) basic theories relating memory to more general cerebral functions. (24 ref)
