Neuropsychological Assessment
Neuropsychological assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of cognitive and behavioral functions using standardized tests and observations to identify brain-behavior relationships and diagnose neurocognitive disorders. Rooted in the pioneering work of Alexander Luria in the 1960s and systematized by contemporary neuropsychologists, the assessment is used to evaluate dementia, traumatic brain injury, stroke, learning disorders, and other conditions affecting brain function.
