, Referral question and definition of the problem
A neurological assessment starts with a referral from a medical specialist. The patient gets referred
with a specific question to be assessed. During the assessment neuropsychologists might formulate
additional questions if necessary.
Interview with the patient
Purposes of interviewing a patient:
Collecting information
o Complaints
o Symptoms
o Progression
o Education
o Occupation
o Medication
o Medical history
A standard question list will not suffice. A positive note about interviewing the patient is that you are
building a working relationship.
Interview with the informant
The patient may not always be a reliable source of intel. This intel can come from a partner, child,
parent, neighbor, friend. The rule is that the patient has to agree with the interview.
Observation
As soon as the patient is spotted the observation starts. It is important that the observations are free
from interpretation.
Neuropsychological assessment
Reliability
test-retest same results, different time with same patient.
Inter-rater Same results, different researcher (Cohens kappa)
Validity
Face-validity (indrukvaliditeit) measure what it is supposed to measure
Content-validity (inhoudvaliditeit) extent to which a test is representative to the topic
Construct-validity (begripvaliditeit) measure which measures its goal
Criterion-validity (criterium validiteit) results comparing with other criteria
Ecological validity (ecologische validiteit) Predicts further function in their own environment
Confounding
A confounding factor is an element that affects performance on a test but that does not fall within the
measurement objective of a test.
Under-performance: performing worse than they are capable of.
Over-reporting: patient reports more symptoms or exaggerates them.
