요약	The Trail Making Test (TMT) is a simple, brief neuropsychological test developed by Reitan in 1958 that measures visuomotor processing speed, attention, and executive function. The TMT comprises two forms: Part A, which assesses basic processing speed and visual scanning, and Part B, which assesses executive function, task-switching, and cognitive flexibility. Despite its simplicity, the TMT is highly sensitive to cognitive impairment across a wide range of neurological and psychiatric conditions and remains one of the most widely used screening tests in neuropsychology.	The Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB) is a brief, clinician-administered neuropsychological battery designed to assess frontal lobe function and executive abilities at the bedside. Developed by Dubois and colleagues at the Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris in 2000, the FAB consists of six subtests measuring conceptualization, mental flexibility, motor planning, inhibitory control, and verbal fluency. The FAB is particularly sensitive to frontotemporal dementia, Parkinson's disease with cognitive decline, and other conditions affecting prefrontal function.
