NAB®

Assess a wide range of cognitive skills and functions in adults

Neuropsychological Assessment Battery®

The NAB offers a comprehensive way to assess for nearly every neuropsychological need. With 33 tests that address different areas of neurocognitive functions, the NAB can be administered as a full battery, by the domain-specific module, or as standalone tests. This conormed assessment provides flexibility to allow you to focus on the specific areas needed for your adult client.

The goal underlying the development of the NAB was to create a comprehensive evaluation of neuropsychological function in less than 4 hours.

In order to address a variety of clinical needs, the NAB was designed with flexibility in mind. The NAB consists of five domain-specific modules: Attention, Language, Memory, Spatial, and Executive Functions. The sixth module, Screening, provides information to help determine which of the other five domain-specific modules are appropriate for administration. Each of the six NAB modules is self-contained and may be administered independently based on clinical needs.

The NAB Offers the Strengths of Both a Flexible and Fixed Battery 

The NAB provides a reasonably comprehensive standard reference base suitable for most routine clinical administrations.

The NAB features:

  • Coordinated norms for all NAB tests, allowing for within- and between-patient score comparisons.
  • Two equivalent, parallel forms to facilitate reevaluation without practice effects.
  • Daily Living tasks embedded into each of the 5 domain-specific modules that relate to real-world tasks of everyday living. Or purchase the NAB Daily Living test, which combines these five tests into one easy-to-use form.
  • Training is available for no charge via PAR Training.

Note: If you are purchasing a NAB module kit—with the exception of the Screening Module—we strongly recommend that you also purchase the NAB Administration, Scoring, and Interpretation Manual (Item #5088–TM) and the NAB Demographically Corrected Norms Manual (Item #5091–TM).
