Neuropsychological testing provides a detailed assessment of cognitive functioning and brain-behavior relationships through a series of specialized tests. Unlike general psychological evaluations, neuropsychological testing focuses on understanding how various brain functions impact your thinking, memory, attention, and problem-solving abilities. This in-depth evaluation is particularly valuable for diagnosing neurological conditions, cognitive impairments, or understanding the impact of brain injuries. By working with a trained neuropsychologist, you receive a comprehensive analysis of cognitive strengths and weaknesses, helping to guide treatment and interventions. Get neuropsychological testing done to gain valuable insights into brain function and enhance your understanding of cognitive health.
Neuropsychological testing is a comprehensive, non-invasive evaluation that measures how well different areas of your brain are working. It assesses memory, attention, processing speed, language, problem-solving, visual-spatial skills, and emotional functioning through a series of standardized tasks and questionnaires.
It’s used to diagnose or rule out conditions such as dementia/Alzheimer’s, traumatic brain injury (TBI), stroke, ADHD, learning disabilities, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, or cognitive changes after concussion, surgery, chemotherapy, or long COVID. It also helps track progression or recovery over time.
You’ll complete a variety of paper-and-pencil tasks, computer-based exercises, verbal questions, and sometimes simple drawing or memory activities. The tests are not painful and do not involve needles, scans, or radiation.
A full evaluation typically lasts 3–6 hours. It may be completed in one day or split into two or more shorter sessions to avoid fatigue.
You’ll work one-on-one with a trained neuropsychologist or psychometrist in a quiet room. Tasks range from easy to challenging. Breaks are provided. Most people find the process interesting rather than stressful.
Yes. You’ll receive a detailed report explaining your cognitive strengths and weaknesses, a diagnosis (when applicable), and specific recommendations for treatment, accommodations at work/school, or further medical follow-up.
Get a good night’s sleep, eat breakfast, take your regular medications (unless instructed otherwise), bring glasses/hearing aids, and avoid alcohol or recreational drugs for at least 24 hours before testing.
Most major insurance plans cover medically necessary neuropsychological testing. Coverage and pre-authorization requirements vary, so check with your provider beforehand.
Results guide treatment planning, confirm or rule out diagnoses, support disability or school/work accommodations, establish a baseline for future comparison, and help families and doctors understand what support is needed.
Testing is performed or directly supervised by a board-certified or board-eligible clinical neuropsychologist with specialized doctoral and postdoctoral training in brain-behavior relationships.
