Neuropsychology for Neurologists

Abstract

Clinical neuropsychology plays an important role in the evaluation and treatment of known or suspected neurocognitive dysfunction across the lifespan. The field has a rich history of research into the quantitative assessment and understanding of neurological functioning. The analysis of neurospychological profiles and consideration of quantitative, as well as qualitative features of cognitive performance allows for the determination of the presence, extent, and nature of neurocognitive deficits.
