Summary:The present study attempted to assess the test-retest reliability of the Reitan-Indiana Neuropsychological Test Battery for Children aged 5 through 8 and to establish the magnitude of practice effects for a normal sample of school aged children. The sample population included 191 kindergarten and 193 second grade students who were administered the entire Reitan-Indiana Battery during the first year of the study and again at one year follow-up. Correlation analyses of random half samples of the population revealed 35 of the 39 test indices measured were stable for at least one of the half samples for the younger (kindergarten-first grade) sample with the same being true for 31 of the 39 variables assessed for the older (second-third grade) sample.
