Handbook of Normative Data for Neuropsychological Assessment

This reference book presents and critiques normative data for 26 commonly used neuropsychological tests. Locator tables throughout the book guide clinicians to the sets of normative data that are best suited to their needs, depending on the demographic characteristics of their patients. Chapters in the second edition have been updated and revised, and 15 new tests have been reviewed. The way the data are presented has been changed to make the book easier to use. Meta-analytic tables of predicted values for different ages (and education, where relevant) are included for nine tests that have a sufficient number of homogeneous datasets. No other reference offers such an effective framework for the critical evaluation of normative data for neuropsychological tests. Like the first edition, the new edition will be welcomed by practitioners, researchers, teachers, and graduate students as a unique and valuable contribution to the practice of neuropsychology.
