Abstract
In this paper, traditional approaches to the neuropsychological assessment of individuals with stroke are reexamined in light of research suggesting the breadth of poststroke cognitive and affective impairments that are independent of laterality of brain damage. A domain-specific approach to neuropsychological evaluation is presented which includes the evaluation of a patient's level of awareness of both cognitive and affective sequelae of stroke, an in-depth mood assessment, delineation of an individual's cognitive strengths and limitations, and assessment of learning potential.
