Is anyone aware of a resource (e.g. website, journal article, book chapter) in which the various different neuropsychological tests are linked to specific cognitive functions?
For example, I know that the Stroop test reflects an individual's selective attention capacity and processing speed, whereas the Wechsler Memory Scale is a measure of five different types of memory. Is there anywhere I can learn about the most appropriate tests for each cognitive function? And, furthermore, is there any consensus on the group of cognitive functions which comprise an individual's overall cognitive capacity and functioning?
Thanks in advance for any responses
Thank you Ghulam Syed, that is exactly the type of resource I am looking for
Try looking on Pearson Clinical. Or go to technical resources (Collegiate Campus) and look at the Denis-Kaplan executive function system battery
Relevant text books include: Neuropsychological Assessment (5th Edition) by Lezak, Howieson, Bigler, and Tranel, and A Compendium of Neuropsychological Tests (3rd Edition) by Strauss, Sherman, and Spreen.
As of now, in my opinion, no such online resource exists. Textbooks in neuropsychological assessment for example by Lezak et al are classic sources of such information. This is an interesting question, and would be worth pursuing.
You might want the mental measurements yearbook (http://buros.org/mental-measurements-yearbook ) Or the book 'tests in print'.
You can look up if a test is in the MMY through Test Reviews Online: https://marketplace.unl.edu/buros/ but for your purpose the books are better.
Mental Measurement YearBooks are certainly of help to get to know the compendium of tests in American or Anglocentric cultures. But, do mental measurement yearbooks consist of cross-culturally validated tools for measurement? I guess not, so, it depends a lot of on the context.
