I am writing to let you know that we have apparently struck pay dirt
in the administration of the Halstead-Reitan Neuropsychology Test
Battery. Let me begin by expressing my appreciation for your guidance
in suggesting this particular series of tests.
According to the neuropsychologist who administered the tests, pre-
liminary analysis of the data indicated very promising results.
On
the basis of the analyses to date, it appears that a consistent
pattern is emerging in which good performers in our area of interest
show a very high level of proficiency in certain spatial tasks as
compared to more average abilities in other tasks. (Some individual
results were exceedingly atypical with respect to the established
norms. ) The preliminary findings suggested a congruence with other
data on right versus left hemispheric specialization of sufficient
strength that he added some special tests for this area. He is
presently correlating the data with that obtained by the Department
of Psychiatry, Palo Alto Medical Clinic, and will be forwarding
his results to me shortly. As soon as the written report is in hand
I shall send it along without delay.
Please distribute the additional copies of the letter to
