Neuropsychological / Psychological Testing
Neuropsychological and psychological testing utilize scientific methods to measure an individual’s neuropsychological and psychological characteristics. Tests compare an individual’s performance to that of their peers using statistical methods.
Pearl Health Clinic offers a broad range of testing services for children, adolescents, adults and seniors. The data obtained from tests informs diagnosis, treatment planning, referrals, and placement.
Tests tend to fall into the following two categories:
- Task-Based Assessments require the examinee to complete tasks. For example, to memorize a list of words. The examinee’s ability to memorize the list is then compared to the averages for same-age individuals, allowing the psychologist to determine memory ability.
- Rating Scales are completed by the examinee or an individual familiar with the examinee. For example, a teacher may complete a behavior rating scale regarding the intensity of a student’s misbehavior. The teacher’s ratings are compared to the average misbehavior of same-age students, allowing the psychologist to determine the severity of the misbehavior.
