Neuropsychology is a specialized branch of psychology which focuses on the relationship between the brain and human functions including cognition, behaviour, and emotion. With an emphasis on a scientific approach which includes analysing quantitative data, neuropsychology follows an information processing approach to brain activity using standard assessments to evaluate various mental functions. This book examines the standardized battery of tests in neuropsychology, with a particular focus on forensic applications of these tests, suggesting that a united theory of assessment needs to be established. Getting together multiple articles associated with forensic neuropsychology, this book provides an search for the nerve and psychometric theoretical grounds for standardized batteries in addition to a comparison between flexible and standardized batteries. Ultimately, it's contended that the standardized battery of tests have to be used and describes the justification for that longevity of this method, especially with regards to expert witness testimony. While carrying this out, formal methods, including advanced mathematical methods for example formulas and decision tree calculations, are presented to get used in checks.
Using its thorough study of the theoretical and practical programs of the standardized battery in neuropsychological assessment, this book will prove useful to clinical professionals and lawyers using assessment for his or her cases.
- Supplies a unified theoretical grounds for a standardized neuropsychological assessment battery
- Shows the justification for implementing neuropsychological assessment in forensic programs
- Offers practical good examples that you can use to produce a standardized assessment battery
