[DEF] A NEURO-PSYCHOLOGICAL EXAMINATION (or neuropsychological evaluation) is a comprehensive assessment of cognitive and behavioural functions using a set of standardized tests and procedures in a formal environment. Various mental functions are systematically tested, including: Intelligence, Problem solving and conceptualization, Planning and organization Attention, memory, and learning, Academic Skills, Perceptual and motor abilities, Emotions, behaviour, and personality (Source: Connecticut Neuropsychological Society). It is used in diagnosing, evaluation or following up brain dysfunction or damage and central nervous system disorders or injury. Most neuropsychological tests in current use are based on traditional psychometric theory. In this model, a person's raw score on a test is compared to a large general population normative sample, that should ideally be drawn from a comparable population to the person being examined. 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 functioning.
