While neuropsychological testing can accurately detect cognitive deficits in persons with brain injury, the ability to reliably predict how these individuals will function in everyday life has remained elusive. This authoritative volume brings together well-known experts to present recent advances in the neuropsychological assessment of key real-world capacities: the ability to live independently, work, manage medications, and drive a car. For each of these domains, contributors describe cutting-edge tests, procedures, and interpretive strategies and examine salient theoretical and methodological issues. Chapters also review approaches for evaluating specific populations, including older adults and patients with traumatic brain injury, depression, dementia, schizophrenia, and other neurological and psychiatric disorders. Reviews: “Finally, a book that puts the brain into the context of the real world! The editors and contributors should be commended for this remarkable, broad-reaching volume that explores the neuropsychological underpinnings of some of our most fundamental tasks of everyday living. Not since Halstead’s seminal Brain and Intelligence has the ecological validity of neuropsychological procedures been systematically raised to such a truly scientific plane of inquiry. Thought provoking and generative, this book is ‘must’ reading for practitioners, researchers, advanced graduate students, and instructors.”

“Often, clinicians and investigators find it difficult to understand the implications of neuropsychological test performance for real-world functioning. This comprehensive book presents state-of-the-art approaches for the evaluation of function in applied situations. It then explores the relationship between cognition and function in specific medical conditions and contexts. This book will be of great value to both the student and the experienced clinical practitioner. It will also serve as an important guide to investigators who wish to explore the functional implications of cognitive changes.”—Yaakov Stern, PhD, Division Leader, Cognitive Neuroscience Division, Columbia University Contents: I.
