Why is it essential for a neuropsychological evaluation to include a history taking, a mental status examination, and the administration of a neuropsychological test battery? Why is it a good practice for diagnostic decisions not to be based on the results of one measure? |

What are the advantages and limitations of both "flexible batteries" and "prepackaged batteries" or "fixed" in neuropsychological assessment? Discuss the implications of the Chapple case (see chapter Close-up) with regard to admissibility of evidence in court yielded from "flexible" versus "fixed." |
