Issues associated with repeated neuropsychological assessments

R J McCaffrey et al. Neuropsychol Rev. 1995 Sep.

Abstract

Distinguishing practice effects from other factors in repeated neuropsychological assessments are discussed in the context of research studies and clinical/forensic assessments. Potential methodological procedures for reducing the impact of practice effects in research settings are outlined. In contrast, the potential clinical utility and interpretation of practice effects in clinical assessments and forensic evaluations are highlighted.
