Neuropsychological investigations have established that highly specific impairments of cognitive function can occur following brain damage.

A comprehensive neuropsychological assessment must reflect this specificity and include tasks that focus on specific cognitive functions in addition to complex cognitive skills. In this context no individual’s profile would be complete without an assessment of object and space perception.

Benefits

  • Enables an assessor to compare the scores of a subject with those of a normal control sample and those obtained by patients with right- and left-cerebral lesions
  • Tests pragmatic strength in terms of their selectivity and sensitivity that determined their selection for inclusion in the battery

Features

  • Developed, validated and standardised in the Psychology Department at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queen Square London
  • Test are un-timed and should be administered at a pace suitable to the individual patient
  • Can be administered singly, in groups, or as a whole battery; and, apart from the initial screening test, in any order
