How can a neuropsychologist help my case?
A forensic neuropsychology expert presents quantifiable, data driven
information about the relationship between brain damage or injury, and the
behavioral or cognitive consequences that are related to the legal
proceedings. Scientific tests assess the status of cognitive functions such as
memory, intellectual ability, attention, concentration, information processing
abilities, executive functions, and skill level. A neuropsychological
assessment is useful in personal injury, competency, criminal, and disability
cases.
Neuropsychology is the study of the relationship between the brain and
function including reasoning, behaviors, learning, memory, reading, writing,
emotions, and various cognitive and behavioral functions.
Neuropsychological testing and evaluations provide a method of measuring
neuropsychological function and its interplay with behavior.
Results of neuropsychological tests are organized into cognitive domains
that are generally accepted by the scientific community, providing a useful
and functional way to consider a person's cognitive abilities. Most
evaluations include the following factors:
Attention and concentration
Perceptual and spatial abilities
Memory and learning
Sensory Perceptual and Motor skills
Language and communication
Reasoning, problem-solving, and judgement
Emotion and Personality
Executive abilities such as planning, organization, and initiation
Malingering and Exaggeration
This provides the professional in the legal setting a straighforward, objective
way to discuss problems caused by head injury, brain injury, toxic exposure,
medical malpractice, or other factors.
