Today, as the number of studies aimed at understanding the structure and functions of the brain increases, interdisciplinary collaboration in this field has gained importance. Neuropsychology, a branch of science that studies the relationship between the brain and behavior, is an important field at the intersection of interdisciplinary fields. Neuropsychological assessment, which is one of the basic measurement tools of this field and covers the valid and reliable assessment of cognitive functions, is used in basic neuropsychology research, as well as in the clinic, from differential diagnosis to treatment and rehabilitation organization.
This book, which comprehensively covers this special field of psychology based on current research findings, has been prepared by benefiting from the multidimensional perspective of academics and clinical neuropsychologists who have research and experience in different subjects related to neuropsychology and neuropsychological assessment. In the book, there is a clear emphasis on filling the gap between theory and practice by establishing connections with clinical issues related to both assessment and rehabilitation in order to create a clear understanding of the application of theoretical issues.
We hope that our book will contribute to the limited Turkish literature in the field of neuropsychology and neuropsychological assessment, provide basic information for undergraduate and graduate students of psychology who want to improve themselves in this field, and become an up-to-date reference book for professionals working in various fields where neuropsychological assessment is used.

Parallel to the developments in the world, "psychological tests" in our country started as a "translation" movement of tests developed in other countries at the beginning of the current century, and there was no development effort and effort on the tests. In today's sense, writing, testing, applying, doing item analysis, choosing good questions and preparing the posttest, and conducting validity and reliability studies started in the mid-1950s. In the period since the 1950s, important institutions have been established in the fields of measurement technique, psychological tests and test development in our country.
Increasing demand for tests; It has enabled the rapid development of psychology and the branch of psychological tests in our country compared to other branches.

Since you have started to read this book, we can assume that you have an interest and curiosity in psychology. Psychology attracts the attention of almost everyone at some point because it tries to explain the "me" as a human being. Some want to understand themselves, some their partner, their boss, some their children and some their parents. In other words, the effort to understand people and ourselves in the first place leads us to learn psychology. As in the verses of the famous folk poet of Anatolia, Yunus Emre, which are rosewood in our language, "Science is knowledge, knowledge is knowing yourself, if you do not know yourself, it is a lot of reading".
However, this self-knowledge, self-learning, self-discovery can often turn into a toy in the hands of those who turn science into a profit for their own interests. As a matter of fact, not understanding psychology correctly "Are you reading my mind now?" It may also cause you to become the target of the question. “I am also interested in psychology.”, “We also understand psychology, I love personal development books.” Such sentences will be some of the things that those who will specialize in this field will often hear. So, is psychology really a field that anyone who is interested in can specialize in by reading a few books? I can imagine that you answered “no” to this question. Still, it can be equally dangerous to popularize psychology too much and push it away from science, leaving it only in the hands of scientists and making it elitist. Because science will only be useful as long as it reaches people and continues to develop like a living organism in life.
The science of psychology was shaped centuries ago by the answers given by philosophers to the questions they asked to understand human, and then it was born as a science on the basis of physiological studies. Psychology continues to keep our curiosity alive today, with hundreds of theories and millions of concepts written about it.
