CONCLUSIONS The previous section on neuropsychological interpretation reviewed key factors that should be synthesized with test data to arrive at diagnostic and functional impressions that are beneficial to both the patient and other treatment professionals involved in his or her care. Whereas some of these factors are addressed in the neuropsychological assessment itself, other factors require the clinician to remain abreast of findings regarding the etiology and diagnosis of cognitive disorders that occur among older adults, and to apply this knowledge to the patient’s profile with the same intellectual rigor that is applied to psychometric data.
