Neuropsychology of the Developing Brain

Implications for Neuropsychological Assessment

  • Chapter
Book cover Assessment Issues in Child Neuropsychology

Part of the book series: Critical Issues in Neuropsychology ((CINP))

Abstract

Childhood neuropsychological assessment contributes interpretative data on the relation between overt behavior and the functional systems of the child’s brain. These data are obtained in the expectation that they will be useful in interpretating the significance of the child’s manifest problems. The assessment provides a comprehensive analysis of test-delimited neuropsychological systems, such as language comprehension or visual short-term memory, and of the integrated functioning of these systems. Neuropsychological interpretation occurs in a diagnostic milieu that also might include clinical neurological, neuroimaging, electrophysiological, psychological, and educational data.
