Sets of verbal and nonverbal memory tests were subjected to a factor analysis, and the factor composite scores were used to discriminate between 57 braindamaged and 34 non‐brain‐damaged subjects. The derived factors clearly represented verbal and nonverbal factors. The brain‐damaged group performed significantly less well on both the verbal and nonverbal factor composite scores. It is suggested that a battery of verbal and nonverbal scales be used to discriminate left and right lateralized brain‐damaged patient groups.
