Neuropsychological Testing

Abstract

Abstract Developmental neuropsychological testing is an important component of the developmental neuropsychiatric examination. This chapter provides an orientation to using developmental neuropsychological testing in assessing mental functioning. It discusses a neuropsychological model of functional domains, proceeding from domain-general to domain-specific interactive specialization; introduces the construct of neuroconstructionism; reviews current issues in the application of tests and instrument development; provides a comparison of neuropsychological and clinical psychological approaches to assessment; considers the differences in brain–behavior relationships between adults and children on neuropsychological testing; reviews indications for neuropsychological testing; discusses assessment strategies for the neuropsychological capacities tested; and provides a description of the types of tests used and a rationale for their use.
