Significant new insights and research findings about brain-behavior
relationships, neurological disorders, neurodiagnostic issues, and
neuropsychological assessment procedures are incorporated into the
third edition of _Neuropsychological Assessment_. Preliminary chapters
present the principles necessary for a patient-oriented, personalized,
hypothesis-testing approach to neuropsychological assessment. The
subsequent chapters contain nearly all of the tests and assessment
techniques covered in the previous editions plus many additional ones,
including newly developed neuropsychological tests, tests from other
branches of psychology, research techniques that have only recently
been introduced into clinical neuropsychology, tests originating in
Europe and elsewhere, and a few measures as yet untried by
neuropsychologists. In a reorganization designed to meet current
thinking and assessment procedures, tests originally offered in
prepackaged batteries are now presented within their appropriate
functional domains. For example, individual memory tests -- whether
developed singly or for use in a commercial battery -- are discussed
in the chapter on memory tests, while a new chapter deals with memory
batteries, questionnaires, and inventories. A separate chapter reviews
prepackaged and commercial test batteries used for general-purpose
neuropsychological assessment, but the individual tests from these
batteries are treated elsewhere according to the salient functions
they examine. Following chapters on observational measurement
techniques and on measures of personality and emotional status, the
concluding chapter presents an array of techniques that have been used
to identify motivational problems and malingering.
