Abstract
Regression equations were developed to adjust raw scores on Luria-Nebraska Neuropsychological Battery-Form I (LNNB-I) clinical scales for the effects of age and education. Corrected raw scores were then used to develop perfor mance scales for the LNNB-I on which normal individuals anchored the low en d of the scales and increasingly impaired patients occupied higher interval s. The resulting scales represent equal intervals of age- and education-cor rected test impairment for each LNNB-I clinical scale and should facilitate interpretation of LNNB-I test performances. 1999 National Academy of Neuro psychology.
