Description:
The Neurobehavioral Testing System (NES) is a microprocessor-based testing system designed for neurotoxicity testing the laboratory and field. est-retest data from 12 NES tests obtained in a controlled laboratory study of 66 young adult males are reported here. ubjects completed a primary set of tests (finger tapping, visual digit span, continuous performance, symbol-digit substitution, serial digit learning, pattern memory, switching attention, and mood scaled) twice during two sessions separated by an interval at least one week in length. econdary set of tests (Associate learning and recall, pattern comparison, simple RT, grammatical reasoning and horizontal arithmetic) were completed once each session. he best test-retest reliabilities were obtained on the switching attention, continuous performance and symbol-digit substitution tests.
