NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING
• Uses behavioral measures to assess skills and abilities that
relate to brain functioning
• Tests are fatiguing and recommended therefore in an
order of administration that:
- Intersperse easier and harder tests
- Begins testing with tasks that reduce rather than
increase anxiety
- Places tests with demanding attentional/speed
requirements when the patient is fresh and well-
rested, yet past the initial anxiety
