NEUROPSYCHOLOGY - Measurement and Evaluation from Theory to Practice

Today, as the number of studies aimed at understanding the structure and functions of the brain increases, interdisciplinary collaboration in this field has gained importance. Neuropsychology, a branch of science that studies the relationship between the brain and behavior, is an important field at the intersection of interdisciplinary fields. Neuropsychological assessment, which is one of the basic measurement tools of this field and covers the valid and reliable assessment of cognitive functions, is used in basic neuropsychology research, as well as in the clinic, from differential diagnosis to treatment and rehabilitation organization.
This book, which comprehensively covers this special field of psychology based on current research findings, has been prepared by benefiting from the multidimensional perspective of academics and clinical neuropsychologists who have research and experience in different subjects related to neuropsychology and neuropsychological assessment. In the book, there is a clear emphasis on filling the gap between theory and practice by establishing connections with clinical issues related to both assessment and rehabilitation in order to create a clear understanding of the application of theoretical issues.
We hope that our book will contribute to the limited Turkish literature in the field of neuropsychology and neuropsychological assessment, provide basic information for undergraduate and graduate students of psychology who want to improve themselves in this field, and become an up-to-date reference book for professionals working in various fields where neuropsychological assessment is used.
