302 primarily healthy preparatory school children aged from 4-6 years were examined neurologically, using a slightly modified Touwen-Prechtl examination scheme. It was possible to make statistically confirmed statements on the individual tests of neurological function for a German kindergarten population. To develop a short (screening) test representative of the entire nervous system would be very difficult indeed. We hope, however, by means of rational data reduction, to be able to find a compromise between the complexity of the nervous system and the necessities of practice.
