A Compendium of Neuropsychological Tests, Fourth Edition is one of
the most well-established reference texts in neuropsychology. This
newly-revised, updated, and expanded fourth edition provides a
comprehensive overview of essential aspects of neuropsychological
practice along with 100 test reviews of well-known
neuropsychological tests for adults. The aim of the Compendium is
to provide a comprehensive yet practical overview of the state of
the field while also summarizing the evidence on the theoretical
background, norms, reliability, and validity of commonly-used
neuropsychological tests. Based on extensive review of the clinical
and research literature in neuropsychology, neurology, and related
disciplines, its comprehensive critical reviews of common
neuropsychological tests and standardized scales include tests for
premorbid estimation, dementia screening, IQ, attention, executive
functioning, memory, language, visuospatial skills, sensory
function, motor skills, performance validity, and symptom validity.
Tables within each test review summarize important features of each
test, highlight aspects of each normative dataset, and provide an
overview of psychometric properties. This essential reference text
also covers basic and advanced aspects of neuropsychological
assessment with chapters on psychometric concepts and principles,
reliability in neuropsychology, theoretical models of test
validity, and an overview of critical concepts pertaining to
performance and symptom validity testing and malingering. Of
interest to neuropsychologists, clinical psychologists, educational
psychologists, neurologists, and psychiatrists as well as trainees
in these areas, this volume will aid practitioners in gaining a
deeper understanding of fundamental assessment concepts in
neuropsychology while also serving as an essential guidebook for
selecting the right test for specific clinical situations and for
helping clinicians make empirically-supported test interpretations.
