Abstract: | ![]() Administered a battery of 4 tests adapted from the structure of intellect model of differential abilities to 72 adults with right and left cerebral lesions and normals. Findings show that both brain-damaged groups exhibited slower response times than normals and that there was a relation between locus of the lesion and performance. However, results do not sufficiently demonstrate the advantage of factor-defined ability tests over tests of global intelligence and question the validity of these factor-defined tests in that they do not distinguish behaviors that are factorially distinct in normal populations.
