Features and benefits
- The NAB is a comprehensive and conormed assessment that offers the combined strengths of both a flexible and fixed battery to allow clinicians to focus on specific areas of concern.
- All NAB tests were standardized on the same sample of more than 1,400 healthy adults.
- Extensive validation evidence has been established through both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, criterion validity investigations, and several clinical validation studies. Additional validity studies included a comparison of the NAB with measures of functional independence in an inpatient rehabilitation hospital and an investigation involving a group of simulated malingerers who received the NAB, along with several existing measures of symptom validity.
- In-Person e-Stimulus Books and Kits are convenient alternatives to paper administration that allow you to administer the NAB face-to-face via tablet. Be sure to download our whitepaper from the resources area below.
