Age group differences on neuropsychological battery performance in a neuropsychiatric population: An international descriptive study with replications

Abstract

The relationship of age to performance on the Halstead-Reitan Neuropsychological Battery was examined in three samples drawn from neuropsychiatric populations: an initial sample of 217 subjects, a within-laboratory replication of 307 subjects, and a cross-national replication sample of 101 subjects. The results showed significant relationships of age to subtests of the Halstead-Reitan Battery involving problem-solving abilities and motor strength, which were replicated across the three samples. Verbal and perceptual subtests were not consistently related to age across samples. For those problem-solving and motor tests showing replicated correlations with age. mean scores are provided for three age groups (16-34, 35-54, and 55 and above), and group differences were tested with analysis of variance. These results help clarify for which measures age group differences are consistent in neuropsychiatric populations. Implications of these results for treatment program planning are discussed
