Benton Face Recognition Test: This test was developed by Benton et al. It measures complex visual perceptual function. It is sensitive in damage to the posterior regions of the right hemisphere.

Benton Line Orientation Test: This test, like the Face Recognition Test, was developed by Benton et al. It is a similarly complex test of visual perception and is impaired with damage to the posterior regions of the right hemisphere. However, the Line Orientation Test is sensitive to damage to the "where-where" pathway, a specialized pathway in the visual association cortex, whereas the Face Recognition Test is sensitive to damage to the "what-what" pathway.

Boston Naming Test: Language examination is a sine qua non of a neuropsychological assessment. The purpose of the test is to measure the ability to name pictured objects.
