This leading-edge volume offers a new framework for
neuropsychological testing rooted in the current evidence base on
large-scale brain system interactions. Expert coverage brings
traditional discrete areas of cognitive functioning (e.g.,
attention, memory) in line with highly nuanced relationships
between cortical and subcortical processing. The new findings point
to more accurate and targeted testing, as authors expand on the
judicious addition of nonstandardized methods to core diagnostic
tools and the underused capacity of neuropsychological testing to
assess social behavior and personality. The book's emphasis on
cognition in context gives practitioners better understanding of
assessment and evaluation, leading to improved diagnosis,
treatment, and outcomes for individuals as well as significant
improvements in the field. This innovative reference: Reframes
cognitive functioning in light of current data on brain
interconnectivity. Critiques current methods of neuropsychological
test interpretation. Reviews known, useful interpretive
methodologies within a new context. Features instructive case
examples emphasizing accurate historical and test data. Revisits
the strengths and limitations of the bell curve construct. Examines
the interpretive significance of pathognomonic signs. Details
strategies for making neuropsychological evaluations more
clinically relevant. Large-Scale Brain Systems and
Neuropsychological Testing combines current findings, clinical
sense, and common sense to ground neuropsychologists, school
psychologists, child psychologists, and clinical social workers in
the effective assessment of real-world functioning.
