The use of the Wechsler intelligence scales and the bender visual motor gestalt test in the detection of brain damage

Damage to the brain of a human being can be a causal factor in a long list of behavioral abnormalities. The damage may result in relatively circumscribed deficits in sensorimotor abilities which are hardly noticeable in the everyday functioning of the individual, or, at the other extreme, it may involve complicated emerging functions in the intellectual and personality spheres, which can result in the individual's inability to cope with everyday problems and to share congenial relationships with other persons.
