Lists of Neuropsychological Tasks and Tests
A number of different tasks and tests can be used during a neuropsychological evaluation. However, diagnostic inferences are drawn not only from individual test results but also from 1) comparing relationships between performances on different tests and 2) analyzing and interpreting patterns that arise from groups of test performances. Due to this broader analysis, knowing the name or description of a single test is not sufficient and, oftentimes, may be misleading. For those of you who would prefer to do your own research, I have listed below representative tests.
