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.
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.
