Prevalence of Low Scores in Children and Adolescents on the Test of Verbal Conceptualization and Fluency

Applied Neuropsychology: Child, 2012
It is important to consider the prevalence of low scores when administering a battery of psychological tests. Understanding the prevalence of low scores is important for minimizing false-positive diagnoses of cognitive deficits in clinical practice. The purpose of this study was to expand the literature on base rates for use in children and adolescents.
