Assessing the neuropsychological abilities of children and adolescents for personal injury litigation

Pages 203-229 | Accepted 05 Apr 1989, Published online: 08 Nov 2007
 

Abstract

Neuropsychological examination of children and adolescents involved in personal injury litigation provides important information about a brain-based cognitive impairment; about its dimensions, its potential for remediation, and its probable causes. Information from neuropsychological assessments is useful in personal injury actions involving children and adolescents when neuropsychologists apply statistical decision-making and inferencing to test profiles so as to provide triers of fact with informed clinical opinions about previous, present, and future cognitive development.
