Abstract
our different orders of the Halstead-Reitan Neuropsychological Test Battery and the WAIS were administered to 167 adults who had a variety of suspected or confirmed neurological disorders. Of the 17 measures utilized, only tapping with the dominant hand showed evidence of being affected by the order in which the task was administered. Data suggest that a more accurate assessment of motor abilities may be obtained by presenting the tapping task early in a testing session. The differences observed on the tapping task did not result in a significant difference in the number of Ss in each order group whose Halstead Impairment Index score was in the impaired range, which indicates that the difference would be unlikely to lead to errors in clinical judgment in regard to an assessment of an overall neuropsychological status. Results indicate that order of task presentation had little effect on performance in either impaired or unimpaired clinical populations. (8 ref)
