Hi Doctor, My father is currently recovering from Haemiplegia. he had his left side paralysed. now that he is recovering well, we were facing problem with his attitude. so we consulted Psychologist. He has asked us to do Neuropsychometric test. what this test is? how much duration does it take to complete this test?
Hi, thanks for the query. To put simply, a neuropsychological assessment is a written cum verbal test which usually takes 1-2 hours depending upon a patients' ability to complete the test. The test is meant to assess various domains like memory (immediate, short term, long term memory etc.); visuospatial ability (construction, Chat Doctor.  To name a few. This test is usually done to chalk out degree of deficits incurred in a person after stroke, head injury, in a person of dementia (Alzheimer type & others) ; so that certain techniques to regain functional ability known as cognitive remediation can be attempted. If required, you can get back to me with test results so that cognitive remediation can be planned. Good Luck
