Which test would be suitable for assessing cognitive deficits in individuals who have sustained brain injuries?

MMPI
WAIS
Luria Nebraska
WRAT

The correct answer is: Luria Nebraska

The Luria-Nebraska Neuropsychological Battery is specifically designed to assess cognitive deficits in individuals who have sustained brain injuries. This test evaluates a range of cognitive functions, including attention, memory, language, and executive functions, all of which can be affected by brain injury. It is sensitive to the types of deficits that may arise from neurological issues, making it an appropriate choice for this population. In contrast, the MMPI is primarily a personality assessment tool, focused on psychological conditions rather than cognitive functioning. The WAIS (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale) is used to assess general intelligence and cognitive ability, but it is not specific to the assessment of deficits related to brain injuries. The WRAT (Wide Range Achievement Test) evaluates academic skills and is not designed to measure cognitive impairments resulting from neurological conditions. Therefore, the Luria-Nebraska is the most suitable choice for assessing cognitive deficits in individuals with brain injuries.
