Neuropsühholoogilised

Neuropsühholoogilised is an Estonian term that translates to neuropsychological. It refers to the study of the relationship between the brain and behavior. Neuropsychology is a scientific discipline that investigates how cognitive and behavioral functions are related to the structure and function of the brain. This field examines how brain damage or disease can affect a person's thinking, emotions, memory, perception, and overall behavior.

Neuropsychological assessments are used to identify and diagnose cognitive impairments that may result from various conditions, including stroke, traumatic brain injury, dementia, learning disabilities, and psychiatric disorders. These assessments typically involve a series of tests designed to evaluate different aspects of cognitive function, such as attention, memory, language, executive functions (planning, problem-solving, decision-making), and visuospatial abilities.

The results of neuropsychological evaluations help in understanding the specific strengths and weaknesses of an individual. This information is crucial for developing appropriate treatment plans, rehabilitation strategies, and educational or occupational support. Neuropsychologists work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, rehabilitation centers, schools, and private practice, collaborating with other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care. The goal of neuropsychological intervention is often to improve a person's quality of life by addressing cognitive and behavioral challenges.
