Neuropsychological Testing

A Neuropsychological assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of how well your brain functions and how your cognitive and behavioral abilities work. It can help healthcare providers diagnose conditions, identify strengths and weaknesses, and develop treatment plans. 

​

​Neuropsychological testing is often used when a patient has a noticeable change in their thinking or memory. It can help doctors determine the cause of the problem.

Neuropsychological testing typically includes: 

​

  • Interview: A clinical interview with the patient and sometimes a family member or friend 

  • Tests: A series of standardized pencil-and-paper tests that assess a range of mental functions, including attention, memory, language, reasoning, and problem-solving 

  • Medical record review: A review of the patient's medical records

Neuropsychologists compare a patient's test scores to those of a healthy group of people with similar demographics, such as age, education, gender, and ethnicity. This allows them to determine if a patient's performance on a task is a strength or weakness.
