Neuro-Psychological Test attempts to measure ..............................

  • A.Intelligence
  • B.Concentration level
  • C.Behaviour
  • D.Deficit in cognitive functioning

Answer: D

A neuropsychological test attempts to measure deficit in cognitive functioning.

Neuropsychological tests assess the cognitive functions linked to particular brain structures and pathways: attention, memory, language, executive function, visuospatial skill and processing speed. They are used to detect and describe impairment, for example after a head injury, which is why concussion assessment in sport uses them.

Intelligence tests measure general mental ability, and concentration and behaviour are each only one aspect. The defining purpose of a neuropsychological test is to identify deficits in cognitive function.
