Neuropsychological Assessment Standard Battery

Neuropsychological Assessment Standard Battery

It is determinant and important in the detection of all types of dementia, especially Alzheimer's type dementia, depression, learning and attention disorders and various neuropsychiatric diseases (Neurobehçet, stroke, impulse control disorders, trauma, etc.).

Wechler Memory Test: Personal Actual knowledge, orientation, mental control, simple attention, story memory and visual memory. It measures the application of semantic fluency and letter fluency tests and the ability to sustain attention.

Stroop Test: This test measures the ability to resist interference and the ability to suppress the habitual response and give the desired response.

Wisconsin Card Matching Test: Developed to measure abstraction, conceptualization, mental flexibility, problem solving, categorization and categorization skills, the test also measures complex attention skills.

Öktem Verbal Memory Processes Test: This test assesses the ability to learn verbal material, recall and recognize learned material from memory storage and is widely used in the evaluation of neurological and psychiatric patients. It is an important verbal memory test used in the differential diagnosis of dementias.

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.

WAIS Binary Similarities Subtest: This subtest measures the ability to think in the abstract. It is a very simple test that must be applied in the differential diagnosis of dementias.

Trail Making Test: This test measures sensitivity to interference and the ability to suppress response tendency.

Burdon Attention Test: It is a short test that measures attention skills.
