Neuropsychological understanding of behavioural deficits
Behaviour is an outcome of the interaction of the brain with the environment. A composite of multiple psychological processes shape behaviour. The chief domains of the psychological processes are cognition, emotion and volition. Every of these three cardinal domains has specialised processes and each of the specialised process has components, which constitute the sub process. Nuances in behaviour arise because of the nuances of the domains/ process/ components. The aim of neuropsychological assessment is to recognize the disturbed psychological domain/process/ component, which could be giving rise to the behavioural disruption.
