neuropsychological
Mind-brain science field
Neuropsychological relates to the study of how brain structure and function affect behavior and cognition.
Neuropsychological testing assesses memory, attention, language, and problem-solving to detect brain damage or disease.
A neuropsychological evaluation might follow a stroke or head injury: The neuropsychological assessment revealed deficits in executive function.
