A neuropsychological assessment evaluates cognitive functions, including the ability to take in and process information. This assessment can be conducted as a standalone evaluation or in conjunction with, for example, a Psychiatric examination, a neurological evaluation, or an insurance-related work capacity assessment.
The assessment is independent, which means that the neuropsychologist has no stake in a particular outcome. Based on the assessment, the neuropsychologist forms an objective judgment regarding cognitive functioning, including, for example, memory, attention, concentration, and information processing.
The goal of a neuropsychological examination
The goal of a neuropsychological examination is to determine if there are impairments associated with a brain injury or brain disease. Among other things, it examines the person's ability to concentrate, memory functioning and attention. The employee may be so affected by this in their daily functioning in the workplace that they drop out/long-term absenteeism. There is no waiting list for a neuropsychological examination and in principle it can be initiated as soon as possible. However, the availability
depends on the willingness of the person involved.
