Dear Colleague,

The Neuropsychological Assessment Battery® (NAB®) was developed over a 7-year period as a response to the lack of an integrated battery of assessment instruments capable of providing rich amounts of data in a relatively brief administration time. The NAB was funded, in part, through grants from the United States National Institute of Mental Health (1 R43 MH58501-01, 2 R44 MH58501-02) and guided in content and format by a national survey of neuropsychological assessment needs as well as by the NAB Advisory Council. As a comprehensive neuropsychological test battery, the NAB was designed to be used in a variety of situations including outpatient examination, research studies, forensic examinations, and many other clinical and research applications.

Since its original publication, the NAB has proven invaluable to neuropsychologists and patients with a variety of clinical questions. In recent years, it has become clear to us that due to popular demand, certain tests from the full-length measure could provide excellent clinical utility as stand-alone instruments. Since the NAB was devised to be a flexible battery, this seemed like an ideal way to break up the battery for those who were simply interested in one or two tests or who were looking to try out a few tests before investing in the full battery. This brochure will show you the many ways you can use the NAB—as a full-scale battery, as a targeted module, or as an individual test, providing you with the most flexible and personalized assessment of many aspects of neuropsychological functioning. If you have not already tried one of the NAB tests, we encourage you to do so. If you have already used some of the NAB individual tests, you may be interested in purchasing one or more of the NAB modules. Our Customer Support Specialists are available to help you decide on the most effective way for you to use the NAB in your practice.

As always, thank you for your business and your support.

Sincerely,

R. Bob Smith III, PhD, Chairman and CEO

P.S. Each NAB module kit comes with the NAB Scoring Portfolio (NAB®-SP) and a NAB Training Program DVD to help you quickly learn how to administer and score the NAB modules. Like all PAR products, the NAB family of tests are sold with the same No-Risk Guarantee we have honored since our company began: “If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, we will accept the return of any item.”

Administration Approaches Using the NAB Examples of When to Use a Specific Approach

Screening Module only • Acute inpatient neuropsychological consultation for evaluation of cognitive/mental status• Dementia evaluation in patients who cannot tolerate lengthier examination

Screening Module followed by one or more of the five main modules

• Routine comprehensive outpatient evaluation, using the results of the Screening Domain score recommendations to guide selection of main modules

• Evaluation in which a brief, overall assessment of neuropsychological functioning is required along with a more in-depth examination of a specific area(s) of functioning related to the patient’s complaints

Screening Module followed by the five main modules (full NAB)

• Screening Module produces unexpected pattern of impairments, which requires comprehensive evaluation to accurately characterize and diagnose deficits

• Screening Domain score recommendations indicate need for all five main modules

Only the five main modules (full NAB) • Evaluation in which the referral question requires a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation• Forensic examination in which the Total NAB Index and between-score comparisons are desired

The five main modules (full NAB) followed by idiographic or additional testing

• Follow-up impaired performance on NAB tests requiring psychomotor speed by administering other tests of motor speed and dexterity

• Based on a patient’s complaints about his/her pattern of performance on the five main modules, administer additional measures of executive functioning

Specific NAB module(s) • Administer the Language Module as part of an aphasia evaluation• Administer the Memory Module as part of a clinical trial for Alzheimer’s dementia

Specific NAB test(s) • Administer Auditory Comprehension and Reading Comprehension tests to inform nursing staff about a patient’s ability to understand medical instructions

• Administer the NAB Naming Test to identify aphasia

The NAB Provides an Efficient, Comprehensive Assessment of Attention, Language, Memory, Spatial Processing,

and Executive Functions in Less Than 4 Hours...

Neuropsychological Assessment Battery® (NAB®)RobertA.Stern,PhDandTravisWhite,PhD

The NAB is a comprehensive, modular battery of 33 neu-ropsychological tests developed to assess a wide array of cognitive skills and functions in adults (ages 18-97 years) with known or suspected disorders of the central nervous system. The NAB consists of six modules: a Screening Module and five domain-specific modules—Attention, Language, Memory, Spatial, and Executive Functions. Each of the six NAB modules is self-contained and may be administered independently of the other modules. The NAB now may be purchased by individual module kits versus packaged as a complete kit, allowing the clinician increased flexibility to focus on specific areas of concern. Additionally, each NAB module has two equivalent, parallel forms (Form 1 and Form 2) that were created and normed simultaneously with identical task/content specifications and development methodology. Equivalent forms of the NAB were developed to facilitate reevaluation while simultaneously avoiding practice

effects that often limit interpretation of other test forms with no adequate equivalent forms. The two forms have excellent equivalent-form reliability, as well as good temporal stability for a 6-month test-retest interval.Each of the five domain-specific NAB Modules includes a Daily Living test designed to be multifactorial in nature and related to real-world tasks of everyday living. Daily Living assessments include such tests as a Bill Payment test to help determine difficulties with auditory and reading compre hension, writing skills, simple calcula-tions, and speech output; a Medication Instruction test to help determine if an individual can learn and remember dosing instructions for medications prescribed by his/her physician; and a Judgment test that helps evaluate problem-solving capabilities, knowledge of important aspects of home safety and health/medical issues, and decisional capacity.

• The NAB Screening Module helps to generate initial hypotheses regarding differential diagnosis and treatment recommendations and provides an estimate of the examinee’s functioning in a particular domain when more in-depth examination is either not warranted or not possible. It takes 45 minutes to administer.

• The NAB Attention Module provides a marker of an individual’s attentional capacity, working memory, psychomotor speed, selective attention, divided attention, and information processing speed. Examination of an individual’s performance on the NAB Attention Module will provide clinically useful information for patients with traumatic brain injury; disorders involving the subcortical, frontostriatal systems, and/or brainstem (e.g., Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, HIV-associated cognitive-motor disorders, multiple sclerosis); anxiety disorders; and adult residual attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. It takes 45 minutes to administer.

• The NAB Language Module provides a marker of the severity of aphasia and related disorders of language production, comprehension, and word-finding. Examination of an individual’s performance on the NAB Language Module will provide clinically useful information for patients with expressive/Broca’s/nonfluent aphasia, receptive/Wernicke’s/fluent aphasia, or anomia. It takes 35 minutes to administer.

• The NAB Spatial Module provides a marker of the examinee’s visuo-perceptual skills, attention to visual detail, visuoconstruction, right-left orientation, topographical orientation, and visual scanning. Examination of an individual’s performance on the NAB Spatial Module will provide clinically useful information for patients with a lesion in the right hemispheric parietal lobe, frontal systems involvement, and/or occipital lobe involvement. It takes 25 minutes to administer.

• The NAB Memory Module provides a marker of an individual’s verbal explicit learning, visual explicit learning, verbal delayed free recall, visual delayed recognition memory, and verbal explicit learning and recognition of information likely to be encountered in day-to-day living. Examination of an individual’s performance on the NAB Memory Module will provide clinically useful information for patients with Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal dementia, strokes or aneurysms involving the anterior communicating artery, hypoxia/anoxia, Korsakoff’s syndrome, traumatic brain injury, neurotoxic exposure, electroconvulsive therapy, major depression, mesial temporal sclerosis, herpes encephalitis, and other lesions (e.g., vascular, degenerative, epileptic, neoplastic, traumatic, metabolic, surgical) involving mesial temporal lobe structures. It takes 45 minutes to administer.

• The NAB Executive Functions Module provides a marker of planning, engaging with others effectively, problem solving, successfully interacting with the environment to get one’s needs met, judgment, conceptualization, cognitive response set, mental flexibility, verbal fluency, and generativity. Examination of an individual’s performance on the NAB Executive Functions Module will provide clinically useful information for patients with traumatic brain injury, stroke, tumor, hypoxia/anoxia, degenerative disease (e.g., Parkinson’s disease, Pick’s disease, frontotemporal dementia, Huntington’s disease, advanced Alzheimer’s disease), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, depression, schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, metabolic disorders (e.g., Graves’ hyper thyroidism, hypothyroidism), and other lesions (including vascular, degenerative, epileptic, neoplastic, traumatic, metabolic, surgical). It takes 30 minutes to administer.

NAB Modules Provide the Flexibility Needed to Help You Meet the Time Constraints and the Different

Areas of Clinical Focus Required for Each Individual

NAB ScoresDepending on which modules are administered, the NAB yields a variety of different scores. Each NAB test (with the exception of the Screening and Attention Modules Orientation test and the Language Module Reading Comprehension test) results in one or more primary test scores and, in some cases, additional secondary and/or descriptive test scores. For the Screening Module, selected primary test T scores are summed to obtain each of the Screening Domain scores (e.g., the two Screening Language test scores compose the Screening Language Domain score). The five Screening Domain scores are summed to obtain the Total Screening Index score. For each main module, a module Index score is calculated from the sum of selected primary T scores from that module; this score summarizes the examinee’s performance on that module. The Total NAB Index is based on the sum of the five main module Index scores, representing the examinee’s overall performance on the NAB. The Neuropsychological Assessment Battery® Software Portfolio (NAB®-SP) provides unlimited scoring and report generation after hand-entry of an individual’s NAB test scores.

NAB Reliability and Validity StudiesIn addition to the standardization study of more than 1,400 adults, the NAB has undergone extensive reliability studies, including equivalent form, interrater, 6-month test-retest, and internal consistency.The two forms of the NAB were found to be highly equivalent in an equivalent-form reliability study (n = 50). Interrater reliability studies con-ducted on those NAB tests that require more subjective scoring indicated excellent agreement. A 6-month test-retest study (n = 95) resulted in very good temporal stability and provides important practice-effect information. Internal consistency analyses also indicate excellent reliability. The reliability estimates for the NAB Index scores are excellent. For example, the reli-ability coefficient for the Total NAB Index score is .96.Extensive validation evidence has been established through both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, criterion validity investiga-tions, and several clinical validation studies (including separate studies involving groups of patients with dementia, aphasia, traumatic brain injury, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, multiple sclerosis, and HIV/AIDS). Additional validity studies included a comparison of the NAB with measures of functional independence in an inpatient rehabilitation hospital and an investigation involving a group of simulated malingerers who received the NAB, along with several existing measures of symptom validity.

Using the NAB in Your PracticeAs a comprehensive neuropsychological test battery, the NAB is appropri-ate for outpatient evaluation, forensic examination, large-scale research studies, and many other clinical and research applications. Because of its modular flexibility, its potential for focused and shorter examination times, and the ability to use the Screening Module on its own, the NAB also is appropriate for inpatient bedside consultations, interdisciplinary team evaluations, memory disorder clinic examinations, and focused research investigations, among other purposes.The NAB allows for both flexible battery and fixed battery approaches to assessment. You can administer the entire NAB, selected modules, or indi-vidual NAB tests based on specific needs, examination focus, and referral question(s). Standardized administration and scoring procedures across all tests enhance the consistency and interpretability of test scores. The NAB is unique among modern neuropsychological test batteries in that all of the tests in all of the modules have been co-normed on the same individuals.

NAB Software Portfolio (NAB-SP)The NAB-SP automates many of the steps involved in calculating raw scores as well as obtaining normative scores (e.g., z scores, T scores, percentiles) and generating profiles, all in a fraction of the time required by hand scoring. It includes built-in, easy-to-use report editing features, and it generates profile graphs with the ability to overlay profiles from prior NAB administrations for a specific client. Reports can be exported to common word processing programs, and client data can be exported to many spreadsheet and database programs. The NAB-SP now includes the NAB Main Modules Primary Score Report. Visit www.parinc.com to download a patch for your existing NAB-SP to enable it to produce this report.

NAB Training Program on DVDThe Training Program on the Administration and Scoring of the NAB Module Kit is designed to facilitate learning the correct administration and scoring procedures for the NAB Module you have purchased. The specific module DVD contains an overview of the module you ordered; it is organized into chapter titles that correspond to the individual tests within the module, thus facilitating easy navigation to information about a specific test. Each chapter includes an overview of the specific test followed by a demonstration of a standard administration. Procedures for recording and scoring responses also are described. A set of completed NAB Record Forms and Response Booklets for the specific module you ordered, cor-responding to the actual administration shown in the video clips, is included with the DVD set. In addition, the Screening Module DVD is included as a complimentary bonus because it includes an overview of the entire NAB. Together, these materials facilitate learning the correct administration, recording, and scoring procedures.

NAB® Naming Test™

RobertA.Stern,PhDandTravisWhite,PhD

Formerly available only as part of the NAB Language Module, the NAB Naming Test now is available as a stand-alone assessment. This instrument is designed to highlight deficits in visual confrontation naming skills and to identify aphasia. Additionally, it may be helpful in evaluating progress in aphasic patients who are undergoing rehabilitation. The examinee is shown a series of images and asked to name the object in the picture. • Brief 31-item assessment quickly provides necessary information.• A detailed Record Form guides you through semantic and phonemic cueing, if necessary, to further evaluate the patient’s

abilities. All of the administration instructions and essential scoring information are included on the Record Form, making it easy to administer in clinical settings.

• An equivalent parallel form reduces the likelihood of practice effects and allows for repeat testing, making the NAB Naming Test ideal for use in speech/language and/or rehabilitation settings where progress is monitored over the course of treatment.

• A new stand-alone Professional Manual contains information regarding the NAB Naming Test’s background, administration, interpretation, standardization, reliability, and validity.

• The NAB Naming Test was standardized using a large, demographically corrected normative sample. • The incorporation of digital photographs enhances the ecological validity of the instrument by providing visual depictions that

appear more realistic than the line drawings used by similar instruments.

NAB® Screening Module KitRobertA.Stern,PhDandTravisWhite,PhD

The NAB Screening Module helps to generate initial hypotheses regarding differential diagnosis and treatment recommendations, and provides an estimate of the examinee’s functioning in a particular domain when more in-depth examination is either not warranted or not possible.Average alpha coefficients for test scores from both Form 1 and Form 2 of the Screening Module range from moderate to strong. Composite reliabilities are high for all of the Screening Module Domain scores (e.g., Screening Attention Domain r = .91; Screening Executive Functions r = .86), and the Total Screening Index (.80). Over a 6-month interval, test-retest stability of the Screening Module test and domain scores also is strong.To examine convergent validity, a subgroup of the standardization sample was assessed with external measures of cognitive functioning including the Mini-Mental® State Examination (MMSE™) and selected scores from the Repeatable Battery of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS™).Among a sample of patients with dementia, the Screening Attention Domain score correlate strongly with the Dementia Rating Scale-2™ (DRS-2™) Attention Scale Score (r = .84). In a separate study, the Screening Language Domain was found to correlate strongly (r = .78) with the Boston Naming Test (BNT) among patients with aphasia.

NAB® Memory Module™ KitRobertA.Stern,PhDandTravisWhite,PhD

Now available as a complete stand-alone kit, the NAB Memory Module measures explicit verbal and visual learning and memory through four primary tests: (a) List Learning, (b) Shape Learning, (c) Story Learning, and (d) Daily Living Memory. One of the five main modules of the Neuropsychological Assessment Battery®, the NAB Memory Module is ideally suited to stand on its own as a comprehensive assessment of memory complaints that involves testing of encoding skills, retention, retrieval, and recognition. Each skill set in the NAB Memory Module represents an important area of possible cognitive impairment with potentially differing etiologies, whether due to neuropsychological disorders or normal age effects, and differing associated treatment and manage-ment strategies. Discrepancies in performance among these areas may shed light on the exact deficit present in the individual. Economical and efficient, the module was designed to be an extensive memory and learning skills evaluation, with typical administration taking only 45 minutes.

Special Features of the NAB Memory Module• New Professional Manual focuses only on the Memory

Module and includes new research completed since its initial release as part of the comprehensive NAB.

• Detailed Record Forms are designed to guide you through administration with ease. Stimulus Books are durable, colorful, and easily portable.

• Hierarchal score structure (i.e., index, primary, secondary, and descriptive scores) allows for detailed interpretation of results.

• Base rates of reliable change scores and critical values enable you to track progress or decline over time.

• The Training DVD enables you to quickly learn how to administer and score the measure.

• The NAB Memory Module Scoring Program (NAB Memory Module-SP) automates scoring and score conversions (e.g., raw scores to z scores, z scores to T scores, T scores to percentiles) and generates Score Summary Tables and a Scoring Profile.

• An equivalent parallel form reduces the likelihood of practice effects and allows for repeat testing to evaluate progress during or following rehabilitation.

• Examination of an individual’s performance on the NAB Memory Module provides clinically useful information for patients with Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal dementia,

strokes or aneurysms involving the anterior communicating artery, hypoxia/anoxia, Korsakoff’s syndrome, traumatic brain injury, neurotoxic exposure, electroconvulsive therapy, major depression, mesial temporal sclerosis, herpes, encephalitis, and other lesions (e.g., vascular, degenerative, epileptic, neoplastic, traumatic, metabolic, surgical) involving mesial temporal lobe structures.

• The composite reliability coefficient for the Memory Index is .93. Over a 6-month interval, test-retest reliability of the secondary scores was strong, with the median percentage agreement coefficient for correct classifications at 91.6% based on both age groups.

• To examine convergent validity, a subgroup of the standardization sample was assessed with selected criterion measures of memory, including the Wechsler Memory Scale®–3rd Ed. (WMS®-III), the California Verbal Learning Test®, 2nd Ed. (CVLT®-II), and the Repeatable Battery of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS™).

• Among a sample of patients with dementia, Memory Module primary and index scores correlated highly with the Dementia Rating Scale–2™ (DRS-2™) Memory subscale age-corrected scale score (e.g., Daily Living Memory Delayed Recall r = .88). In addition, the Memory Index correlated highly with the DRS-2 Memory subtest raw score (r = .85).

NAB® Orientation Test™ RobertA.Stern,PhDandTravisWhite,PhD

The NAB Orientation Test evaluates impaired orientation, one of the most common symptoms of a variety of brain disorders and an important aspect of attention. A brief 16-item measure, the test consists of questions relating to self, time, place, and situation. Scoring for the NAB Orientation Test was designed to be simple and reliable while simultane-ously providing sensitive markers to help you determine if further examination within a specific domain of disorientation is needed. A Record Form conveniently provides all the materials needed to administer and score the instrument.Although the measure includes questions regarding orientation to time and place that are found in most mental status instruments, the NAB Orientation Test has the distinct advantage of being co-normed with the full Neuropsychological Assessment Battery. Additionally, unlike similar measures that provide only one overall score for orientation, the NAB Orientation Test provides four descriptive scores for each facet of orientation (self, place, time, and situation).• The detailed Record Form guides examiners through the measure and provides optimum portability. • Excellent for use as a screening measure prior to further assessment, the NAB Orientation Test can be used in a variety of
