Abstract

Norms were established for the Halstead Neuropsychological Test Battery for Children and the Reitan-Indiana Neuropsychological Test Battery for Children in the Laboratory of Medical Psychology at the University of Chicago, using data collected between 1960 and 1969. Samples for the HNTBC included 170 9-15 yr olds and for the RINTBC 43 5-9 yr olds, drawn from a normal urban population. Validation of the norms was established by comparison with the mean scores of clinical referrals and of a population described as "cerebral dysfunction." These norms offer reference points and contribute to the assessment of the degree of neuropsychological impairment in individual cases ranging from age 5 to age 15, as measured by these tests.
