Neuropsychological Evaluation
Neuropsychology is the branch of psychology that deals primarily with brain functioning including a person’s cognitive (thinking) ability and emotional/behavioral regulation. Neuropsychological tests are used to measure these variables and the results are integrated in a way to comment on a person’s ability, disability, diagnosis, capacity and overall level of functioning. Neuropsychological evaluations can be useful to assess for possible brain injury and/or cognitive/intellectual impairments. Further, this information is very useful for diagnostic determinations, treatment planning after injury, and for assessing someone’s general abilities/disabilities.
