The test was created by Charles Golden in 1981 and based on previous work by Alexander Luria that emphasizes a qualitative instead of quantitative approach. (wikipedia.org)

Neuropsychology3
The Luria-Nebraska has been the subject of some debate that has split the neuropsychology field. (wikipedia.org)
Luria formulated two principle goals of neuropsychology: to localize brain lesions and analyze psychological activities arising from brain function through behavioral observation. (psychologistanywhereanytime.com)
It faced criticism for its combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, the wide variety of its fourteen scales, and the possibility that it did not include enough different neuropsychological skills or did not distinguish brain dysfunction adequately. (wikipedia.org)
The results showed evidence of focal damage in the early group on two scales of the Luria-Nebraska Neuropsychological Battery: Memory and Visual. (nih.gov)

While neurological examination and CT, MRI, EEG, and PET scans look at the structural, physical, and metabolic condition of the brain, the neuropsychological examination is the only way to formally assess brain function. (psychologistanywhereanytime.com)

Evaluates1
The typical neuropsychological examination evaluates sensation and perception, gross and fine motor skills, basic and complex attention, visual spatial skills, receptive and productive language abilities, recall and recognition memory, and executive functions such as cognitive flexibility and abstraction. (psychologistanywhereanytime.com)
Dysfunction2
The battery is used to diagnose specific cerebral dysfunction and also to determine lateralization. (nih.gov)
As neuropsychological testing came to play a less vital role in localization of brain dysfunction, clinical neuropsychologists found new uses for their skills and knowledge. (psychologistanywhereanytime.com)

Neuropsychological tests are designed to examine a variety of cognitive abilities, including speed of information processing, attention, memory, language, and executive functions, which are necessary for goal-directed behavior. (psychologistanywhereanytime.com)

Psychologists and neuropsychologists create batteries of standardized tests to answer specific referral questions. (psychologistanywhereanytime.com)
A typical battery consists of more than a dozen standardized tests and provides very specific data on a patient's cognitive functioning. (psychologistanywhereanytime.com)

Validity1
However, these concerns resulted in a decrease in use of the battery, and some negative views of it still persist despite evidence of its reliability and validity. (wikipedia.org)
Scale2

Duration and Mn-SRP were associated with performance on the Luria-Nebraska Motor Scale, as well as with other outcomes that appeared to have both reversible and progressive features, including Trail Making A and B, Cancellation H and Delayed Word Recall. (cdc.gov)
Version2
In 1977 Charles Golden presented the Luria-South Dakota, a new version of the battery created at the University of South Dakota that combined Luria and Christensen's works. (wikipedia.org)
To develop this version and ensure it covered everything from both Luria and Christensen, Golden first created an exam that took approximately 18 hours to administer and contained nearly 2,000 procedures. (wikipedia.org)
Dementia1
Neuropsychological screening of elderly people complaining of memory problems can help identify those at risk for dementia versus those experiencing normal age-related memory loss. (psychologistanywhereanytime.com)
Since clinicians lacked non-surgical methods for directly observing brain lesions or structural abnormalities in living patients, neuropsychological testing was the only way to determine which part of the brain was affected in a given patient. (psychologistanywhereanytime.com)
Conditions1
Neuropsychological testing is also an important tool for examining the effects of toxic substances and medical conditions on brain functioning. (psychologistanywhereanytime.com)
