A neuropsychological assessment provides an objective assessment of cognitive functioning and helps to determine strengths and weaknesses in thinking skills and neurocognitive function. The evaluation consists of the administration of a series of tests assessing an individual's cognitive and emotional functioning. While the actual tests that are administered may vary depending on the needs of the individual, they will usually include tests of attention, language, visuospatial skills, memory, speed of information processing, and problem-solving. In addition, questionnaires regarding medical history, current symptoms, and psychological functioning are usually also administered.  The results from this assessment are used to make recommendations for treatment, study, or work.
