Abstract
Abstract The Iowa-Benton (I-B) school of neuropsychological assessment dates back more than four decades. In 1950, Arthur Benton set up a small neuropsychology unit at the invitation of Dr. Adolph Sahs, who was the Head of the Department of Neurology at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (UIHC). Benton’s service was placed in the Department of Neurology, where it has remained until the current day, and this close affiliation with neurology has been an important influence in the development of the Iowa approach. In the initial arrangement, Benton agreed to evaluate patients referred by either Dr. Sahs or Dr. Russell Meyers, who was the Chair of the Division of Neurosurgery at UIHC. In return, Benton and his students were permitted to use case material from neurology and neurosurgery for research purposes.
