ABSTRACT
One distinguishing characteristic of neuropsychological assessment is its emphasis on the identification and measurement of psychological deficits…. Nuropsychological assessment is also concerned with the documentation and description of preserved functions-the patient’s behavioral competencies and strengths. (Lezak, 1995, p. 97)
This chapter provides the neuropsychologist with an overview of the Batería-R and its related English-language batteries. Although the Batería-R does not cover all aspects required for a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation, it does provide more coverage for the assessment and description of deficits and preserved neurocognitive functions than any other single source.
