Abstract

In recent years, efforts have been made to computerize standard neuropsychological (NP) tests (Kane & Kay, 1992). This effort is in the service of increased productivity, lower costs, and an increase in the consistency of test administration. However, care must be taken to make sure the limitations of the computer interface do not compromise test validity.
