This ambitious and accessible guide reviews innovative technologies enhancing the field of
neuropsychological testing. Starting with the premise that standard batteries-some nearly a
century old-lag behind in our era of neuroimaging genomic studies psychophysiology and
informatics it presents digital measures offering more efficient administration more accurate
data and wider clinical applications. Ecological validity and evidence-based science are key
themes in these advances from virtual environments and assessment of social cognition to the
shift toward situational reliability and away from lab-created constructs. These chapters also
demonstrate how high-tech assessment tools can complement or supplement traditional
pencil-and-paper measures without replacing them outright. This book covers in depth: · The
evolution of neuropsychological testing over the past century.· Current applications of
computer-based neuropsychological assessments. · The strengths and limitations of simulation
technology. · The use of teleneuropsychology in reaching remote clients. · The potential of
gaming technologies in neurocognitive rehabilitation.· How technology can transform test data
into information useful across specialties. Clinical Neuropsychology and Technology brings
neuropsychologists clinical psychologists and rehabilitation specialists into the vanguard of
assessment measures and processes that will translate into more accurate testing
collaborations between disciplines and valid and useful outcomes.
