Clinical presentation of the lead-poisoned child on mental ability tests.

Current literature on effects of childhood lead poisoning and high blood lead level on psychological test performance was reviewed. A pathognomic configuration of mental ability test scores is described. A sample of 18 moderately to severely lead poisoned children was found to have a significantly higher frequency of this score configuration than either a comparison sample or the Black subsample of the original WISC-R standardization group. Implications for clinical practice and research are discussed.
