Symptom validity testing, effort, and neuropsychological assessment.

Symptom validity testing (SVT) has become a major theme of contemporary neuropsychological research. However, many issues about the meaning and interpretation of SVT findings will require the best in research design and methods to more precisely characterize what SVT tasks measure and how SVT test findings are to be used in neuropsychological assessment. Major clinical and research issues are o...

Dynamics of Neuropsychological Testing

How should we analyze repeated trials in neuropsychological testing? It has long been known that experimental subjects display distinct stages of acclimatization and subsequent saturation during cognitive testing (Thurstone, 1927). For example, in list learning tests examining memory, it has been demonstrated that repeated exposure to a fixed enumeration of items can improve recall. However, we...

Luria’s Neuropsychological and Neurolinguistic Testing

In this paper Luria’s neuropsychological and neurolinguistic theory is briefly reviewed in order to relate it to his neuropsychological testing. Luria’s neuropsychological and neurolinguistic testing is based on his general theory of brain-behaviour relations, which emphasizes the overlap between different functional systems. Luria’s goal was to provide a principled approach to testing and reha...
