Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status
Purpose
assess neurocognitive status
The Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status is a
neuropsychologicalassessment initially introduced in 1998.[1] It consists of twelve subtests[2] which give five scores, one for each of the five domains tested (immediate memory, visuospatial/constructional, language, attention, delayed memory). There is no assessment of executive function, phonemic fluency, or motor responses. It takes about half an hour to administer.[3] It was originally introduced in the screening for
dementia, but has also found application in other situations,[3] such as
hepatic encephalopathy.[4]
