Uses of the TMT in neuropsychological and other clinical settings, as well as the relationship of TMT performance to subject and experimenter variables were considered. A shortened version of the TMT developed for children was administered to 260 normal children, between the ages of 10 years and 14 years 11 months, to examine the relationship of TMT performance to age, full scale intelligence quotient and' gender variables. Comparisons of descriptive data relating to TMT performance were made between the present study and previous research of a analysis (multivariate analysis analysis) showed increasing age performance on Part A and Part findings for further clinical similar nature. Further statistical of variance and multiple regression and FSIQ to be associated with quicker B of the TMT. The implications of these use with the TMT, were considered. Limitations of the present study, in conjunction with suggestions for further research, were discussed.
