There are several tests used in clinical practice and research
worldwide that have been devised to assess the functions subsumed
by the frontal lobes of the brain. Anatomical localisation has
revealed that the frontal lobes can be divided into sub-regions
with different functional domains. As a result, a number of authors
working in the frontal lobe literature have made a case for
patients with frontal lobe damage to be considered in their
distinct subgroups, rather than considered together in one unitary
group. As a result, it is important for clinicians and researchers
to be made aware of the functions assessed by individual frontal
tests and understand which frontal regions might be impaired in
their patient groups, as patients with damage to one of these
regions will perform poorly on tasks tapping that region yet may
perform well on tasks tapping the unaffected regions within the
frontal lobes. The 'Handbook of Frontal Lobe Assessment' provides a
critical review and appraisal of both the neuropsychological and
experimental tests that have been devised to assess frontal lobe
functions. It includes many tests that have not been included in
previously published neuropsychological compendia. Throughout, the
book discusses the available frontal tests in relation to patient
and lesion data, neuroimaging data and aging data in order to offer
clinicians and researchers the opportunity to choose the best
assessment instrument for their purpose.
