Extract

Allen's work (1, 2, 3, 4) in this series has dealt with the test performance of the brain injured and brain diseased patients. Results of the two groups on the Bellevue Intelligence Scale, Form 1, have been adequately reported both separately and comparatively. The purpose of this paper is to combine the two groups in order to analyze the test results as one group, i. e. encephalopathic group. The study of these test results includes an item analysis of subtest results obtained by this group, and a comparison of verbal with performance scores to ascertain a valid basis for scatter analysis.
