EPPP in the Car: Neuropsychological Testing — Stroop, Trail Making, Wisconsin Card Sorting, and Memory Tests
Published 4 days, 23 hours ago
Description
Neuropsychological assessments measure different aspects of cognitive functioning, but EPPP candidates must understand which tests evaluate attention, memory, processing speed, and executive functioning. This episode examines four commonly studied instruments: the Stroop Color and Word Test, Trail Making Test, Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, and Wechsler Memory Scale. Through clinical examples and examination-style questions, listeners will learn how to distinguish cognitive flexibility from inhibitory control, identify common assessment errors, and interpret neuropsychological findings without overreaching.
