False Negatives, Canter's Background Interference Procedure, the Trail Making Test, and Epileptics.

McKinzey, Ronald K.; And Others

Journal of Clinical Psychology, v41 n6 p812-20 Nov 1985

Results of correlation studies of 141 adult epileptics' scores on the Background Interference Procedure (BIP) indicated that the BIP often does not agree with abnormal neurological diagnoses but often does agree with psychiatric diagnoses of Organic Brain Syndrome (OBS). Suggests that future BIP validity studies include a behavioral measure of OBS as criterion. (Author/BL)
