Computer-Administered Neurobehavioral Evaluation System and Its Application in Evaluation of Children's Neurobehavioral Functions / 环境与健康杂志

Computer-administered neurobehavioral evaluation system (NES)was developed based on the neurobehavioral core test battery (NCTB)recommended by WHO/NIOSH in 1985. Compared with NCTB,the reliability and validity of NES was much improved and some disadvantages of NCTB were made up in NES. This article reviewed the history of NES development,its application in the evaluation of children's neurobehavioral functions and its defects. The studies suggested that some items of NES test,such as finger tapping,continuous performance test and hand-eye coordination,could be used to evaluate earlier damage induced by chemicals on neurobehavioral functions of children.
