THE BEAR FEDIO INVENTORY - TWENTY YEARS ON

In this paper, literature on the Bear Fedio Inventory is reviewed. In particular, studies attempt to distinguish a temporal lobe subgroup an d studies of laterality. in conclusion, the Bear Fedio Inventory does more than measure general psychopathology, but that the clinimetrics, in particular test reliability and responsiveness, need to be further examined. Laterality differences have not held up over time, although patients with left-sided lesions tend to report higher scores more con sistently that those with right-sided lesions.
