Functional Domains in Children
There are three functional domains of particular interest in this age range:
- Attention,
- Memory, and
- Executive function.
The goal of neuropsychologist is to challenge clinicians to develop concepts about brain behaviour relationships in this group, and to provide a basis from which the clinicians could generate hypotheses in their own clinical evaluations and effect appropriate interventions. The objective is not to provide an exhaustive listing of tests and measures, but instead to consider the functional domains for which a judicious selection of tests can be made.
