Using the Tactile Form Recognition Test to differentiate persons with brain damage from control subjects
Open accessAbstract
The Tactile Form Recognition (TFR) Test, which evaluates stereognosis in each hand and requires less than 15 min for administration, was given individually to 50 persons with brain damage and 50 controls who were essentially equivalent in age and education. Scores for the two groups yielded mean values that were different at a statistically significant level. Evaluation of the two distributions of scores yielded a cutoff score that had an accuracy rate of 82% for the controls and 84% for the persons with brain damage. The results suggest that the TFR Test is a valid and useful procedure for differentiating persons with brain damage from controls and, thus, can serve effectively, in conjunction with tests of higher-level brain functions, in neuropsychological evaluation of individual persons.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
