United States · CE points & talks · Psychologists
This lecture offers an accessible yet comprehensive introduction to the core principles and practices of neuropsychological assessment. It examines how cognitive functioning is linked to specific brain regions and how this understanding informs the evaluation of functions such as memory, executive control, attention, language, and spatial processing.
Beginning with a foundational overview of the left and right hemispheres of the brain and their respective contributions to cognition, the session provides practical insights into commonly used assessment tools, interpretation of findings, and the clinical relevance of neuropsychological profiles. The talk also touches on the complexities and challenges involved in differential diagnosis and case formulation.
This talk is ideal for psychologists seeking to deepen their knowledge of brain–behaviour relationships and enhance their skills in the psychological assessment of cognitive function.
