Neuropsychology is a specialized branch of psychology which focuses
on the relationship between the brain and human functions including
cognition, behaviour, and emotion. With an emphasis on a scientific
approach which includes analysing quantitative data,
neuropsychology follows an information processing approach to brain
activity using standard assessments to evaluate various mental
functions. This book examines the standardized battery of tests in
neuropsychology, with a particular focus on forensic applications
of these tests, suggesting that a united theory of assessment needs
to be established. Bringing together multiple articles related to
forensic neuropsychology, this book offers an exploration of the
neurological and psychometric theoretical basis for standardized
batteries as well as a comparison between flexible and standardized
batteries. Ultimately, it is argued that a standardized battery of
tests need to be used and explains the justification for the
reliability of this approach, especially in relation to expert
witness testimony. While doing this, formal procedures, including
advanced mathematical procedures such as formulas and decision tree
algorithms, are presented to be utilized in assessments. With its
thorough examination of the theoretical and practical applications
of a standardized battery in neuropsychological assessment, this
book will prove helpful to clinical practitioners and attorneys
using assessment for their cases.
