AB Clinical  neuropsychology  is  an  applied  science  of  human  behavior  based  on  principles  of  brain–behavior  relationships.  Central  to  this  approach  is  neuropsychological  assessment,  which  involves  gathering  information  about  an  individual’s  history,  current  symptoms  and  functioning,  as  well  as  administering  a  variety  of  behavioral  measures  designed  to  probe  specific  cognitive  functions.  A  clinical  neuropsychologist  integrates  objective  data  within  a  biopsychosocial  context  to  evaluate  and  diagnose  abnormalities  in  the  realm  of  behavior  and  cognition.  The  assessment  may  address  a  variety  of  clinical  questions,  often  to  aid  in  diagnostic  clarification  and  guide  treatment  planning.
