最近，Dodrill（1997）提出的数据表明，智力高于平均水平的人在神经心理测试中的表现并不比智力平均水平的人好。目前的研究检查了157名接受神经心理学评估的患者的神经心理学表现，这些患者根据神经诊断程序被确定为神经正常。将患者分为低于平均、平均和高于平均的WAIS-R FSIQ范围，并计算各组在主要HRB测量和韦氏记忆量表上的平均表现。与Dodrill的发现相反，我们的结果显示了一个清晰的模式，即在大多数HRB测试和记忆测试中，FSIQs高于平均水平的患者比FSIQs平均水平的患者表现得更好，而后者又比FSIQs低于平均水平的患者表现得更好。这些结果表明，智力状态可以作为预期神经心理表现的有效估计。
Recently, Dodrill (1997) presented data suggesting that individuals with above average intelligence do not perform any better on neuropsychological tests than those with average intelligence. The current study examines the neuropsychological performance of 157 patients referred for neuropsychological evaluation who were determined to be neurologically normal based on neurodiagnostic procedures. Patients were divided into below average, average, and above average WAIS-R FSIQ ranges, and each group's mean performance on major Halstead-Reitan Battery (HRB) measures and the Wechsler Memory Scale was calculated. Contrary to Dodrill's findings, our results show a clear pattern in which patients with above average FSIQs perform better on the majority of HRB measures and memory measures than do patients with average FSIQs, who in turn perform better than do individuals with below average FSIQs. These results suggest that intellectual status can serve as an effective estimate of expected neuropsychological perform...
