Neuropsychological test

Neuropsychological tests are specifically designed tasks that are used to measure a psychological function known to be linked to a particular brain structure or pathway.Neuropsychological tests are typically administered to a single person working with an examiner in a quiet office environment, free from distractions.Normative studies frequently provide data stratified by age, level of education, and/or ethnicity, where such factors have been shown by research to affect performance on a particular test.This allows for a person's performance to be compared to a suitable control group, and thus provide a fair assessment of their current cognitive function.[7] The executive functions include: problem solving, planning, organizational skills, selective attention, inhibitory control and some aspects of short term memory.
