What is Neuropsychological Evaluation?
A Neuropsychologist is a psychologist who specializes in understanding, measuring, and treating conditions involving the brain and behavior. “Behavior” means “cognitive” (thinking) skills like paying attention, solving problems, learning and remembering; feeling and expressing emotions; and physical (“motor”) skills. Neuropsychological evaluation uses tests and measures to determine how the brain is functioning by measuring behavior. Common tests you may have heard about that could be used include IQ and memory tests.
