Assessment, under standardized conditions, of an individual’s brain function as it impacts upon cognitive function, thought processes, behavior and personality.
Notes:
- Such tests are designed to measure a psychological function known to be linked to a particular brain structure or pathway and often measure reaction times, motor performance or cognitive association.
- An initial training period may be required so that each individual starts the testing at an optimized performance level, although most neuropsychological assessments compare an individual’s raw score to a normative sample score of the population.
