Abstract
Reliabilities of the tests that comprise Reitan's neuropsychological batteries for children, as well as other allied tests of neuropsychological functioning used in the assessment of children, were examined. A heterogeneous sample of 248 youngsters who had been evaluated more than once over an average of 2.6 years was drawn from a population of 3600 children referred for neuropsychological assessment. Pearson and intraclass correlation coefficients were calculated on the data provided by these children. The results demonstrated a high degree of reliability for many of the 50 variables studied. A hierarchy of reliability coefficients is presented as is a discussion of the pattern of consistency and stability in evidence.Keywords
