A response to Mapou

Abstract: Mapou (1988) has suggested that detection of brain damage has become an irrelevant task for neuropsychology, and that neuropsychological assessment should be used to generate profiles of cognitive function useful for sophisticated diagnosis and rehabilitation. While agreeing the latter considerations are important and germane, we affirm that the detection of brain damage remains an important task for neuropsychology. This affirmation is based on considerations of the nature of brain damage, the development and… Show more

“…In the studies, neuropsychologists were instructed to describe neurological impairment (an exception is the reliability study by Brown et al, 1993). Yet, neuropsychologists frequently make other types of judgments, for example, describe cognitive strengths and weaknesses, assess capacity to work, and assess ability to care for oneself (e.g., Heinrichs, 1990; R. L. Kane, Goldstein, & Parsons, 1989;Mapou, 1988: Martell, 1992. In fact, one is likely to do neuropsychological testing in addition to a neurological exam or neuroimaging techniques, so one can relate behavior to the presence of structural and functional brain abnormalities (e.g., Benton, 1994).…”

“…A second issue of relevance to the future of neuropsychological assessment is the ability of neuropsychological test results to predict functioning in the “real world.” In the past, neuropsychological tests have primarily been evaluated in terms of their ability to predict the presence or location of cerebral lesions. This emphasis is largely appropriate because a test cannot be said to be a neuropsychological test if it is not sensitive to the condition of the brain (Kane, Goldstein, & Parsons, 1989). However, neuropsychologists are now frequently asked to make specific predictions about patients' abilities to function in specific environments such as work.…”

“…fNIRS is regarded as a viable alternative to functional MRI. 52 53 It offers the portable nature and low sensitivity to movement as well as a good resolution in both temporal and spatial domains, 54 ideal for exploring brain function of the prefrontal cortex, the place where cognition and emotion interacts 53 55 and also predicts cognitive improvement 56 57 for adult ADHD. However, there are no relevant reports on the study of brain function changes before and after CBT and medical treatment using fNIRS.…”
