Neuropsychological Assessment of Memory

  • Chapter
Book cover Neuropsychology

Part of the book series: Human Brain Function ((HBFA))

Abstract

The ability to encode, store, and later retrieve information is a highly complex cognitive function requiring a host of memory-related skills that can be disrupted by any number of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Memory deficits are often the first neuropsychological symptom in progressive dementing disorders and can be the only finding in disorders such as mild head trauma and multiple sclerosis. In addition, memory problems are among the most frequent complaints of the elderly (Craik, 1984) and of patients with major psychiatric disorders such as depression and schizophrenia (Caine, 1981; Weingartner & Silberman, 1984). The frequency of these problems underscores the importance of learning and memory assessment in any intellectual or neuropsychological evaluation.
