VALIDATION OF THE LURIA-NEBRASKA INTELLECTUAL PROCESSES SCALE AS A MEASURE OF INTELLIGENCE IN MALE ALCOHOLICS.

The article focuses on a study which investigates the Luria-Nebraska Intellectual Processes Scale as a predictor of Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) IQs among alcoholic inpatients. Subjects were 28 males who were receiving inpatient alcoholism treatment. Patients were administered the WAIS and the Luria-Nebraska Neuropsychological Battery as part of a more extensive investigation of neuropsychological assessment in alcoholics. Frequency of agreement between obtained IQs and those predicted from the present regression equations was assessed using Wechsler's seven category classification system.
