Is the Halstead-Reitan Battery the one most used today? If not, what is the name or names of the most used tests?
Brief Answer:
The Halstead-Reitan Battery is the most used method today.
Detailed Answer:
Hi again dear,
The Halstead-Reitan Battery is the most used method for clinical evaluation of the brain-behavior relationship.
Another test is a Luria‐Nebraska Neuropsychological Battery.
The battery uses selected Luria test items that distinguish brain‐damaged patients from neurologically healthy individuals.
It consists in test items that are simple and complex commands such as motor commands and arithmetic.
Best wishes dear,
Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi
