(6) The danger in using the NART for this purpose is that it yields an invalid estimate if a client's performance on the test has suffered impairment.
(7) Although the NART has been shown to hold in dementia, depression and head injury, reports to date have inferred premorbid IQs with no actual data on premorbid functioning.
(8) Fifteen normal elderly control subjects were administered the WAIS and the NART.
(9) For most subjects in the community the NART was found acceptable as a measure of premorbid intelligence.

(12) NART was found to be strongly related to current level of cognitive function as measured by the Mini Mental State Examination and CAMCOG-the neuropsychological battery of the Cambridge Examination for Mental Disorders in the Elderly.
(13) Total NART scores predicted in this way were highly significantly correlated with the actual NART score for all groups.
(14) In addition to the NART, a battery of neuropsychological tests was administered to 18 AD and 20 elderly control subjects at yearly intervals over 3 years.
(15) When demographic variability between the groups was controlled for, there were no group differences in terms of NART performance.
(16) The validity of the NART in estimating premorbid ability in Alcoholic Korsakoff Syndrome (AKS) is examined in the present study.
(17) There was no significant difference in NART performance between control subjects and the alcoholic dementia, DAT, MID, and CHI groups.
(18) Associations between the NART and other cognitive measures yielded few significant results.
(19) NART scores were significantly correlated with dementia severity in AD subjects at final testing only, suggesting that the NART is sensitive to dementia severity only at the later stages of the disease.
(20) A highly significant correlation between the NART and VF was obtained indicating that premorbid ability should be taken into account when interpreting VF performance.
Nat
Definition:
(adv.) Not.
() Not at; nor at.
Example Sentences:

(2) Most of the money, says WDM, was used to buy shares in Bumi , the troubled London-listed firm co-founded by financier Nat Rothschild that owns large stakes in some of the biggest mining projects in East Kalimantan.
(3) This arylamine NAT acetylates p-aminobenzoic acid thereby demonstrating a monomorphic pattern of acetylation.
(4) In addition, the two enantiomers of D600 also inhibit NAT induction, the D-form slightly more effectively than the L-form.

(9) Increasingly, you can discern a more minor-key debate among some Nats.
(10) NAT activity was detectable in the cultures under all conditions studied, and was markedly increased by drugs that increase intracellular cyclic AMP levels and cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity: 8-bromocyclic AMP, forskolin, and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX).
(11) In contrast, levels of isoniazid N-acetyltransferase and N-hydroxy-3,2'-dimethyl-4-aminobiphenyl O-acetyltransferase activities in mouse liver cytosol appeared to be independent of the arylamine Nat acetylator gene.
(12) There was a decision to preference a new entrant into the WA political field, an Australian Aboriginal, who happens to be a member of the National Party, and to symbolically, I suppose, display him in the preference list … Where possible, where we see shining stars in individual parties, like Scott, or this guy from the Nats, we should individually preference them higher.
