- Abstract
The article makes a preliminary assessment of the clinical utility of the classification information provided by the discriminant function weights through a clinical-actuarial classification paradigm. Researchers quantified the relationships of educational level and occupation with the Wechsler-Bellevue Full Scale IQ as two signs of intellectual deterioration. Wechsler-Bellevue Intelligence Scale Form I (W-B) protocols were obtained from brain-impaired individuals and nonpsychotic non-brain-impaired individuals who were administered the W-B alone or as part of the Halstead-Reitan Neuropsychological Test Battery. The number of significant correlations between classification accuracy and decision confidence indicates that several of the interns tended to be more confident when they were classifying a protocol as nonimpaired in both judgment conditions.
