| This study provided normative data on the Lebby-Asbell Neurocognitive Screening Examination for Children (LANSE-C). The LANSE-C is a screening examination for neurocognitive functioning in children ages 6.0 to 11.11 years. The LANSE-C allows the examiner to evaluate neurocognitive functioning involving a variety of skills and abilities. To date the LANSE-C is the only published neurocognitive screening examination, and the primary purpose of this study was to establish normative data for the LANSE-C.;Overall there were nine subtests that were significant and four subtests that were nonsignificant. In addition, this study examined the number of subtests that failed to differentiate between nontraumatic brain injuries (non-TBIs) and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). In the 6- to 8-year-old group there was a clear distinction in differentiating between the nonTBIs and TBIs. However, in the 9- to 11-year-old group the distinction was not clear. The clinical implications of the study, as well as limitations and suggestions for future research, are discussed. |
