Neuropsychological testing involves the assessment of a wide range of cognitive functions such as attention, focus, memory, visual-spatial perception, processing speed, language skills, judgment, and flexibility of cognitive functioning. In addition, we usually screen for possible psychiatric factors (e.g., depression, anxiety, stress) that may interfere with cognitive functioning.
FAA Neuropsychological Assessment
Pilots, pilot candidates, and air traffic controllers may be referred for neuropsychological and/or mental health assessment for a variety of reasons. However, the general purpose of testing is usually to evaluate for potential neurocognitive and/or psychological deficits that may interfere with flight performance and flight safety.

Neuropsychological Testing Services
Neuropsychological testing involves specifically designed tasks used to measure a psychological function known to be linked to a particular brain structure or pathway. Tests by a qualified neuropsychologist are used for research in a clinical setting for the diagnosis of deficits. They involve the systematic administration of clearly defined procedures administered to a single person working with an examiner in a quiet office environment, free from distractions. Neuropsychological tests offer an estimate of a person’s peak level of cognitive performance. Neuropsychological testing is a core component of the process of conducting neuropsychological assessment, along with personal, interpersonal and contextual factors.
