Reducing racial bias in neuropsychological rehabilitation
Results suggest that indices of relative decline, based on comparisons of individual neuropsychological test scores to estimates of premorbid functioning, provide an equitable method to calculate the degree to which individuals identifying as both Black and White experience neuropsychological impairment. However, issues of cultural bias remain in the use of indices of absolute level of functioning. Rehabilitation and research implications are discussed.
