ضوابط الفحص النفسي العصبي في ضوء تعدد مناحي النظرية و القياس

الملخص EN

The mass-action theory has withstood in neurosciences for a long time.

As result, the diagnosis based on the localization of function theory, remained only seen as a marginal objective.

Thus, the data concerning certain tests, which are related to specific types of brain damage have not been confirmed effectively.

Meanwhile, the standard approach batteries was considered as the most important progress, after World War II.

This trend Began with the advent of (Ward Halstead) battery.

Then (ralph reitan), one of the graduate students, who was supervised by (halstead), contributed to the improvement of this battery.

After that, (Reitan) and his Colleagues were able to combine responses to these tests with the distinctive aspects of brain damage.

Later, this effort was soon compiled in (Halstead-reitan) battery.

And by (1980), the (Luria-Nebraska) battery became viable.

Whether the first or the second trends were committed, the strict respect of determined methodological control, when dealing with the neuropsychological process becomes more of a necessity, specifically those measures that precede neuropsychological testing manipulations.

However, the issue is not always quite so simple, whereas, the advent of the functional model theory which believes that understanding any disorder depends on the specific system function that has been affected, as well as the damage localization within that system.

As a result, the neuropsychological examination becomes more sensitive in all its procedures.

In conclusion, the question we must ask insistently here is: are there any scientific settings or methodological indications which should be in consideration while proceeding to neuropsychological assessment?
