Abstract:
The interpretive significance of variability of performance on neuropsychological measures was investigated in groups of brain-damaged and non-brain-damaged subjects. The 39 brain-damaged subjects were matched on Full Scale IQ and age with 39 non-brain-damages subjects. The two groups failed to differ on a measure of level of performance, but did differ on variability of performance. The results were interpreted as providing support for the clinical utility of measures of variability of performance and indicating the need for additional investigation of such measures.
