Test: MIRBI-2: Mini Inventory of Right Brain Injury- Second Edition
Authors: Patricia A. Pimental and Jeffrey A. Knight
Test Implications: The MIRBI-2 has 5 implications that test administrators should consider prior to giving the test. The 5 principal uses include identifying adults who have difficulties that are consistent with those who have right hemisphere brain injuries; comparing the current levels of functioning to prior levels of functioning; utilizing Pimental’s RHD classification system; using the individual’s performance on the MIRBI-2 to begin the process of therapy and related goals; contributing to scientific research concerning individuals with RHD.
Normative Age: 20-80 years
Normative Language: English
Normative Population: The MIRBI-2 was normed on 128 patients who had RHD, 45 patients who had LHD, and 78 individuals as a control group. Male participants contributed to 49% of the normative population, while female participants contributed to 51% of the normative population. The normative population incurred primary cerebral lesions in the temporal-parietal regions. …show more content…
The content reliability was calculated to be 0.84, which is favorable. The validity of the MIRBI-3 in regards to content-description was found to be at or above 0.3, which is an acceptable co-efficient. The criterion-prediction validity was calculated to be most closely correlated with other RHD assessments, including the WAIS-R, WMS-R, and Stroop Color-Word Task. This also speaks to the strength of the test’s construct-identification validity which rates the ability of the MIRBI-2 to measure what it has purported to measure. The MIRBI-2 has been found to have extremely favorable test reliability and validity in their many
