Assessment of Learning and Memory

  • Chapter
Clinical Neuropsychological Assessment

Part of the book series: Critical Issues in Neuropsychology ((CINP))

Abstract

Assessment of learning and memory is a critical component of neuropsychological evaluation, since impaired learning and memory are among the most common symptoms and neuropsychological deficits in neurological and psychiatric patients (Kapur, 1988; Spreen & Strauss, 1991). Learning and memory can be impaired in the context of relatively normal intellectual functions in the organic amnesias; alternatively, learning and memory can be impaired in the context of general intellectual decline in the dementias. Disordered learning and memory can also result from traumatic brain injury (TBI), brain tumors, and cerebrovascular disease, presenting as generalized or material-specific (verbal or visual nonverbal) impairment (Kapur, 1988). Finally, a variety of nonneurological, psychiatric factors—in particular, depression—can also affect learning and memory (Weingartner, 1986).
