J. Donders, VALIDITY OF SHORT FORMS OF THE INTERMEDIATE HALSTEAD CATEGORY TEST INCHILDREN WITH TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY, Archives of clinical neuropsychology, 11(2), 1996, pp. 131-137
The validities of three of Reeder and Boll's (1992) short forms of the
intermediate version of the Halstead Category Test (IHCT) were evalua
ted in a sample of 87 children with traumatic brain injury. All three
short forms had acceptable relationships with length of coma. A short
form that was based on the first 15 items of every IHCT subtest appear
ed to be relatively superior to the other forms in terms of discrimina
ting between groups of mild/moderate vs. severe injuries. It was concl
uded that this short form may be an accurate and valid alternative to
the full-length IHCT in children with traumatic brain injury.
