《神经心理学的神话》(Dodrill,1997)的出版引发了三种反应,每一种反应都与原始出版物中的观点有争议。这三个回答特别针对神话#4(“当智力高于平均水平时,神经心理测试的平均表现是预期的”),并在较小程度上解决神话#1(“我们对测试测量的结构有很好的了解”)。本文件回顾了这些同事在回应原始文件时提供的想法和新数据,并提出了与手头问题有关的其他数据。根据现有信息的综合,人们承认,神话#4在原始论文中的措辞并不准确。这是一个错误,并提供了神话#4的替代措辞。原始出版物中的其他更改似乎不需要。为了解决手头的许多问题,从而推动我们的专业,需要在一些领域进行研究,其中许多是在本文件中具体确定的。
The publication of "Myths of Neuropsychology" (Dodrill, 1997) has stimulated three responses, each of which takes issue with points in the original publication. These three responses especially address Myth #4 ("Above-average performances on neuropsychological tests are expected when intellectual abilities are above average") and to a lesser degree Myth #1 ("We have a good knowledge of the constructs that our tests measure"). The present paper reviews the thoughts and new data which these colleagues have provided in response to the original paper, and it also presents additional data bearing on the issues at hand. Based on the composite of information now available, it is conceded that Myth #4 was not accurately worded in the original paper. This was a mistake, and an alternate wording for Myth #4 is offered. Other changes in the original publication do not appear to be required. In order to resolve many of the issues at hand and thereby advance our profession, research in a number of areas is needed, many of which are specifically identified in the present paper.
