Abstract
Education has been found to be significantly related to performance on the majority of neuropsychological tests that have been assessed for this effect. Stanton et al (1984) reported a significant effect on the TMT and the Logical Memory (LM) and VR subtests of the WMS. Shichita et al. (1986) found a significant effect for education on BVRT performance.
