Abstract
The microcomputer has opened up a potential new era in neuropsychological assessment. The clinical use of computerized assessment is still in its early stages, and current hardware and software do not address all needs of clinicians and patients. Nevertheless, the potential contribution of the computer to neuropsychological assessment is large and the continued development of these procedures is inevitable.
