Neuropsychological Testing
“That which is measured, improves.”
– Karl Pearson
Something isn’t right.
You can’t quite put your finger on it, but things aren’t the same.
You’re forgetting things more often, words are hard to find, and everything needs to be written down.
You’re struggling to focus, your mind drifts when you need it to be sharp.
Decisions feel harder than they should, and you just don’t feel like yourself anymore.
You’re starting to wonder—is this normal? Is this just due to stress or my age? Or, is it something more?
We all have moments of forgetfulness, distraction, or mental fatigue. Life is demanding, and stress takes its toll.
But when these moments start to add up—when they start interfering with work, relationships, or your confidence –
It’s time for answers.
You don’t have to wonder.
There is a way to know exactly how well your brain is working.
Neuropsychological testing offers a thorough, evidence based assessment of how your brain is functioning, looking specifically at
Memory, attention, processing speed, problem-solving, and more—all with precision.
Neuropsychological testing provides answers, clarity and a hopeful path forward.
What is neuropsychological testing?
Neuropsychological testing refers to a number of tests that healthcare providers use to get information about how your brain works. Specially trained psychologists look at the results to better understand the relationship between your brain health and behavior, and mood and thinking (cognition).
- Determine a diagnosis.
- Identify strengths and weaknesses in your thinking processes (cognition)
- Understand your personal risk for changes in your ability to think that can occur with certain brain surgeries.
- Develop plans for future treatment and interventions
What is tested?
- IQ/intellectual functioning
- Processing speed
- Language
- Visual spatial ability
- Attention
- Memory
- Executive functioning (planning, problem solving)
- Mood and personality
Why might someone need a neuropsychological evaluation?
- Cognitive Concerns: Difficulty with memory, attention, problem-solving, or reasoning.
- Learning Disabilities: Struggles with reading, writing, math, or comprehension.
- ADHD Assessment: Difficulty with focus, impulsivity, and organization.
- Dementia Screening: Assessing memory loss, confusion, or personality changes.
- Brain Injury or Stroke: Evaluating cognitive function after a head injury or stroke.
- Mental Health Disorders: Differentiating between cognitive and emotional issues (e.g., depression vs. dementia).
- Developmental Disorders: Assessing conditions like autism spectrum disorder.
- Epilepsy: Evaluating cognitive function related to seizure disorders.
- Medical Conditions: Impact of chronic illnesses (e.g., multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease) on cognition.
