Clinical Neuropsychology
The practice of determining how the brain affects your cognition, behaviors, personality, and abilities.
Neuropsychology uses advanced tests to determine a person’s cognitive, motor, language, and executive functioning abilities. Those with proper training in neuropsycology can provide information that leads to the diagnosis of a disorder, brain-based deficit, or other abnormalities that can guide the effective rehabilitation of impaired individuals.
Neuropsycological evaluations are uniquely able to combine information from modern brain imagining techniques (CT, MRI, PET), a person’s medical and educational history, personality testing, and the comprehensive testing provided to provide insight and measure a person’s executive functioning, intelligence, language skills, attention, memory, information processing, verbal and visual learning, motor speed, sensory-perception, and academic abilities.
