Introduction: This form serves to evaluate neuropsychological functioning using standardized testing measures. This will encompass an in-depth assessment of cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and neurological statuses.

Overview: The comprehensive evaluation aims to understand various brain functions and behavior. It is anchored on systematic examinations through tests, interviews, and direct observations.

Evaluation Criteria:

  1. Cognitive Functioning: It assesses information processing speed, executive function, verbal and visuospatial abilities, attention, and memory.

  2. Emotional Functioning: It measures mood states, affective processing, and emotional recognition.

  3. Behavioral Functioning: It scrutinizes adaptive behaviors, personality traits, habits, and reactions.

  4. Neurological Functioning: It evaluates motor skills, sensory integration, coordination, and general neurological status.

  5. Adaptive Functioning: Ability to function effectively in daily life, including communication, self-care, social interactions, and independent living.

  6. Cranial Nerve Assessment, Motor and Sensory Evaluation: Clinical examination to assess cranial nerve function and motor/sensory abilities.

  7. Intelligence/Cognitive Abilities: Mental capacities including problem-solving, memory, attention, and language skills, assessed using tests like WAIS and Raven's Matrices.

  8. Social Cognition: Ability to understand and respond to social cues and situations, evaluated through tests assessing empathy, theory of mind, and social judgment.
