In this volume of the series Human Brain Function: Assessment and
Rehabilitation we cover the area of how brain function is assessed
with behavioral or neuropsycholog ical instruments. These
assessments are typically conducted by clinical neuropsy chologists
or behavioral neurologists, and so we made an effort to present the
somewhat differing approaches to these two related disciplines.
Clinical neuropsy chologists are psychologists who typically
utilize standardized tests, while behav ioral neurologists are
physicians who generally assess brain function as part of the
clinical neurological evaluation. Both approaches have much to
offer. The basic assumption of neuropsychological assessment is
that the brain is the organ of behavior, and therefore, the
condition of the brain may be evaluated with behavioral measures.
Neuropsychological tests are those measures found by re search to
be particularly sensitive to alterations in brain function. An
adequate neuropsychological test is a procedure that can be related
to some objective mea sure of alteration in brain function. Over
the years, these objective measures have changed, but generally
involve documentation through direct observation of brain tissue,
or through histological, pathological, neuroimaging, or other
laboratory procedures. The methods described in the first two
volumes of this series describe the neuroimaging procedures that
are often used in the validation of neuropsycho logical tests."
