Abstract

A neuropsychological evaluation can help in narrowing the differential diagnosis of cognitive dysfunction, choosing treatments, and evaluating the efficacy of an intervention on an ongoing basis. In patients with documented neurologic disorders, information from neuropsychological assessment can define the patient's functional limitations or residual cognitive strengths. Proper use of neuropsychological assessment can improve the quality of care.
