A neuropsychological assessment consists of administering tests that examine a set of more-or-less independent functional domains that are controlled by brain systems.
While neuropsychologists agree on a general range of functional domains, some categories may be combined in different examinations. Nevertheless, neuropsychological assessment generally taps most of these areas of functioning that potentially may be impacted by brain disorders.
Attention and Processing Speed -- The capability to focus and sustain attention in mental activity is reflected in processing speed, simple accuracy in a sustained focus task, divided thinking among tasks, mental manipulation and control, and resistance to internal or external distraction.
