The tools used in testing are usually performance-based measures of mental functioning, meaning they require active participation in task-based tests. The clinician interviews, and then guides, the examinee through various tests designed to assess specific cognitive abilities. Some of these tasks might feel like puzzles, quizzes, or pencil-and-paper activities. The clinician can then use this information to determine which cognitive abilities are affected and how to best assist the individual to compensate for any cognitive difficulties affecting their daily life.
Neuropsychological testing is carried out by specialized mental health professionals with specific training in its administration and interpretation. This will often be a neuropsychologist, who is a practitioner with expertise in the assessment and treatment of brain-based psychological disorders.
