50 brain-damaged children ranging in age from 10 through 14 years were matched in pairs with 50 normally functioning children on the variable of age. Each subject was administered individually a wide variety of psychological tests. The sensitivity of each test to the brain-damage factor was determined by computing the appropriate t ratio and by determining the proportion of cases in which the brain-damaged children performed less adequately than their matched controls. The brain-damaged children performed significantly less well than the control children on all the tests, with differences between the 2 groups occurring more frequently on the tests of language functions than on other testing procedures.
