The development of the Neuropsychological Battery for Epilepsy was presented. The tests were designed to be helpful in the evaluation of adult [human] epileptics. The battery consisted of general measures which included tests in the areas of intellectual functioning, emotional status and lateral dominance. The development of a series of 16 discriminative measures was presented through the discussion of a pilot study, the principal investigation and a cross-validational effort. Epileptics [50] were individually paired with individuals having no history of neurological disease, and their performances on a wide range of ability measures were compared. Tests were eliminated if they did not appear sensitive to the brain-related problems of epileptics, if they demonstrated excessive duplication with other measures of if they did not cross-validate with a new sample of 25 epileptic-normal pairs. The advantages of the battery were discussed.
