ASMT861 Neuropsychology Assessment II
This is the second course in a two-part course that serves as a hands-on introduction to the psychometric properties of neuropsychological test administration. Students will become familiar with commonly-used neuropsychological tests and learn to administer and score these tests following standardized procedures. They will be knowledgeable about the various cognitive domains assessed during a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation and be able to select appropriate tests to address a referral question. Students will learn to identify test patterns (e.g., recall versus recognition) both within and across cognitive domains. An introduction to neuropsychological report writing will also be provided. This course is intended to provide students with the practical background needed to begin the supervised practice of neuropsychological assessment. Prerequisite: ASMT860
