What does a neuropsychological assessment involve?

A standard assessment involves an interview, where various aspects of person’s history will be discussed (i.e. medical, psychiatric, substance history and background information), as well as numerous standardised measures of cognition. These tests are non-invasive and are generally in pen-and-paper format. They assess areas such as memory (short-term, long-term, working memory, new learning, recognition memory etc.), intellectual skills, executive functions (i.e. planning, problem solving, reasoning etc.) as well as processing speed and attention. In addition, to these tasks, a person’s mood and motivation is also routinely assessed in order to garner a complete picture of their cognitive and emotional functioning.

An assessment routinely takes 2-3 hours and while it is often completed in the one sitting, this can be divided into two or more sessions depending on a person’s needs. Please note: Medicare rebates are currently not available for neuropsychological assessments.
