Newer contributions to the neuropsychological assessment of executive functions

Muriel D. Lezak

Open publisher page 107 citations

Abstract

Although the need for tests sensitive to executive dysfunction is great, and getting greater as the number of survivors of serious motor vehicle accidents increases, relatively few examination techniques are available. This article reviews a number of the tests developed recently and tests involving new applications of older examination techniques. It is hoped that this review will stimulate further test development in this area
