Excerpt

Neuropsychology is the study of brain-behavior relationships and the impact of brain injury or disease on an individual’s sensorimotor, cognitive, emotional, and general adaptive capacities. Clinical neuropsychology is an applied science dealing with the cognitive and behavioral manifestation of brain dysfunction. As with all psychological evaluations, neuropsychological assessment involves the patient in a process of answering clinical questions and responding to unique clinical situations that vary somewhat from patient to patient and across practice settings.
