A psychological test battery briefly assessing memory, intelligence, and attention was administered to 10 delinquent solvent inhalers and 10 matched controls. The solvent abuse group showed significant impairment in tests of memory, nonverbal intelligence, and attention and concentration. The implications for future research are discussed.Keywords
