Traditionally, South Africa has followed the West in using quantitative psychometric procedures for Neuropsychological Assessments. Procedures developed in other parts of the world, however, may yield further valuable information. Luria's Neuropsychological Investigation (LNI) (originating in Russia) provides a qualitative assessment of psychological processes which have been pathologically disturbed as a result of brain damage. It is therefore a descriptive profile which investigates a wide range of behaviour. In this research project, the suitability of using the LNI for White, English-speaking South Africans was investigated and minor modifications to the procedure are suggested.
