Assignment Instructions

You decide to make a referral to a neurological clinic run by Dr. Sigmund Myers, Dr. Stanford Binet, and Dr. M. M. P. I. Wechsler ll, all neuropsychologists. Dr. Myers and Dr. Wechsler are on vacation, so an appointment is made with Dr. Binet. Based on the required reading for this unit, discuss the following:

  • Describe what you will tell Dr. Binet about why you made the referral (what are the problems of this individual). These can be any conditions appropriate for a neuropsychologist.
  • Identify a minimum of two neuropsychological tests Dr. Binet is likely to administer and explain why the tests were chosen.
  • Justify the tests based on their validity and reliability
  • Analyze any potential ethical and legal issues of doing the neuropsychological testing yourself.
