Abstract
Six specific issues affecting the progressive modification of neurobeh avioral test batteries used in field studies of populations exposed to neurotoxicants are discussed and test review recommendations are prov ided addressing each issue. The issues include: (a) general test revie w standards, (b) comprehensive assessment, (c) tailored batteries, (d) incorporation of new tests and techniques, (e) personnel and mechanis ms for review, and (f) development of a battery assessing peripheral n ervous system function.
