Clinical Neurophysiology in the Schools

Abstract

Criticisms of many commonly used psycho-educational tests have stimulated interest in development of more objective and culturally less biased assessment procedures. The disciplines of neuropsychology, electrophysiology and psychophysiology use procedures which could be of value in this regard. Potential contributions of each of these disciplines are discussed. Brief descriptions are given of representative assessment tools used by clinical neuropsychologists and psychophysiologists. Several approaches to computer scored measurement of electrical activity of the brain in assessment of school learning problems are described.
