The Meyers Neuropsychological Battery (MNB) integrates neuropsychological tests into a modified Rohling Interpretive Method (RIM) statistical approach combined with a profile matching approach.
The MNB uses a core of common standardized neuropsychological test, to which the user can add a 1000 of their own tests and their own norms if desired. The added test are not dependent upon any specific neuropsychological battery of tests, and can be incorporated into the RIM calculations if desired. The MNB has an extensive database used for comparing your patient’s data with various patient groups. The current database is 10,000 subjects with 90+ comparison groups identified. The MNB uses objective statistical matching methods to assist the clinician in matching patient data to a comparison group. This statistical matching method is better than 90% accurate. The interpretation of the tests used in the MNB use the standard interpretation as with any battery of neuropsychological tests, what the MNB software adds is statistics, and comparison groups as well as a nifty customizable report generator to help with report writing.
The tests that are included in the database are:
- WISC-IV/V/WAIS-III/IV (Ward 7 subtest short form)
- Forced Choice
- Animal Naming
- NAART (Revised)
- 1 Minute Estimation
