Neuropsychologists rarely use specific methods to estimate premorbid function. Many feel their formal training was inadequate for assessing premorbid ability, highlighting a gap in current neuropsychological practice.

Area of Science:

  • Neuropsychology
  • Clinical Psychology

Background:

  • Estimating premorbid cognitive function is crucial in neuropsychological assessments.
  • Current practices and training adequacy for premorbid estimation are not well-documented.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To survey practicing neuropsychologists on their methods for estimating premorbid function.
  • To assess the adequacy of formal training in these estimation methods.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire was developed and distributed to doctoral-level psychologists.
  • Members of the National Academy of Neuropsychology were targeted for participation.

Main Results:

  • A low utilization of strategies specifically designed for premorbid ability estimation was found.

  • No significant association was observed between demographic factors or training and the methods used.
  • Over one-third of respondents reported inadequate formal training in addressing premorbid estimation.

    • Conclusions:

    • There is a notable underuse of specialized premorbid estimation strategies in clinical neuropsychology.
    • Formal training in neuropsychology may not sufficiently prepare practitioners for estimating premorbid cognitive abilities.
