| Abstract: | The Quick Neurological Screening Test-Revised (QNST-R) was administered to 122 children diagnosed with learning disabilities (FSIQ > 80) between the ages of 6 and 13 years to examine the test's factorial structure and utility as a screening measure for this clinical population. On the basis of principal components analyses, the QNST-R appears to measure primarily lower-order sensory perception/processing and fine and gross motoric skills, which are thought presumably to serve as the basis for later higher-order cognitive functions. Age, but not gender differences obtained, indicate a general maturity factor related to overall test performance. |
