Abstract

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 es

Abstract

"The Compendium of Neuropsychological Tests is one of the most well-established reference texts in neuropsychology. This newly-revised, updated, and expanded fourth edition provides a comprehensive overview of essential aspects of neuropsychological practice along with over 100 test reviews of well-known neuropsychological tests for adults. The aim of the Compendium is to provide a comprehensive yet practical overview of the state of the field while also summarizing the evidence on the theoretical background, norms, reliability, and validity of commonly-used neuropsychological tests. Based on extensive review of the clinical and research literature in neuropsychology, neurology, and related disciplines, its comprehensive critical reviews of common neuropsychological tests and standardized scales include tests for premorbid estimation, dementia screening, IQ, attention, executive functioning, memory, language, visuospatial skills, sensory function, motor skills, performance validity, and symptom validity. Tables within each test review summarize important features of each test, highlight aspects of each normative dataset, and provide an overview of psychometric properties. This essential reference text also covers basic and advanced aspects of neuropsychological assessment with chapters on psychometric concepts and principles, reliability in neuropsychology, theoretical models of test validity, and an overview of critical concepts pertaining to performance and symptom validity testing and malingering. Of interest to neuropsychologists, clinical psychologists, educational psychologists, neurologists, and psychiatrists as well as trainees in these areas, this volume will aid practitioners in gaining a deeper understanding of fundamental assessment concepts in neuropsychology while also serving as an essential guidebook for selecting the right test for specific clinical situations and for helping clinicians make empirically-supported test interpretations"--

Abstract

La mémoire épisodique est définie comme un système de mémoire permettant de se souvenir et de revivre consciemment des expériences passées personnellement vécues dans le contexte spatial et temporel qui leur est propre. Depuis la naissance de ce concept, de nombreuses épreuves visant à l’évaluer ont donc vu le jour, et, classiquement, ces épreuves s’intéressent à la composante antérograde de la mémoire et se présentent sous la forme de tâches d’apprentissage de mots ou d’images. Les tests de mémoire épisodique classiques sont ainsi, pour la plupart, des taches de rappel libre, de rappel indicé ou de reconnaissance. Dans une perspective visant à redonner du sens à la mémoire épisodique en la restituant par rapport à la notion d’identité et de contexte, un certain nombre de critiques ont donc été émises quant au fait que les tests s’éloignent un peu trop du cœur même de la mémoire épisodique. C’est dans ce contexte que s’inscrit notre mémoire dont l’objectif a été de mettre en place une nouvelle épreuve clinique plus écologique évaluant la mémoire épisodique. Celle-ci repose sur une interview structurée d’événements standardisés s’étant déroulés dans le contexte du bilan neuropsychologique. Notre souhait est donc de proposer une méthode d’évaluation plus écologique ayant pour ambition de prédire au mieux les performances du patient dans la vie quotidienne.

Abstract

Today's APN and PA programs have been allocating less time to the study of neurology, leaving new practitioners with an uncertain grasp of how to approach the neurologic patient. Here is a ""how to"" manual for knowledgably conducting the basic neurological examination and confidently applying exam findings to the interpretation of common neurologic symptoms. It explains all facets of the standard neuro exam that is conducted in a clinic or hospital setting including useful algorithms. The book then focuses on using the exam results to determine a likely diagnosis and/or area of concern for fu

Abstract

Les maladies neurologiques telles que les accidents vasculaires cérébraux, les traumatismes crâniens, la maladie d'Alzheimer posent un problème de santé publique. Elles touchent tous les âges, de l'enfant aux personnes âgées. Elles retentissent sur les possibilités d'autonomie dans la vie quotidienne, sur les possibilités d'insertion sociale ou professionnelle. Dans ces pathologies, les troubles neuropsychologiques : troubles du langage, de la mémoire, de l'attention, etc., sont à l'origine de difficultés cruciales. Les tests cognitifs réalisés par les psychologues sont indispensables à leur d

Abstract

Neuropsychological assessment is a difficult and complicated process. Often, experienced clinicians as well as trainees and students gloss over fundamental problems or fail to consider potential sources of error. Since formal test data on the surface appear unambiguous and objective, they may fall into the habit of overemphasizing tests and their scores and underemphasizing all the factors that affect the validity, reliability, and interpretability of test data. But interpretation is far from straightforward, and a pragmatic application of assessment results requires attention to a multitude of issues. This long-awaited, updated, and greatly expanded second edition of the Clinician's Guide to Neuropsychological Assessment, like the first, focuses on the clinical practice of neuropsychology. Orienting readers to the entire multitude of issues, it guides them step by step through evaluation and helps them avoid common misconceptions, mistakes, and methodological pitfalls. It is divided into three sections: fundamental elements of the assessment process; special issues, settings, and populations; and new approaches and methodologies. The authors, all of whom are actively engaged in the clinical practice of neuropsychological assessment, as well as in teaching and research, do an outstanding job of integrating the academic and the practical. The Clinician's Guide to Neuropsychological Assessment, Second Edition will be welcomed as a text for graduate courses but also as an invaluable hands-on handbook for interns, postdoctoral fellows, and experienced neuropsychologists alike. No other book offers its combination of breadth across batteries and approaches, depth, and practicality.
