Abstract
In clinical neuropsychology a huge number of neuropsychological tests have been developed, and the corpus of these instrumentes is always increasing. Because of this, the question has been raised as to which are the most usefull instruments that provide the best neuropsychological profiles of the subjects. In the actual literature, there are polemics about the advantages and disadvantages of computerized neuropsychological batteries versus standard paper and pencil tests. In the present increased level of neuropsychological evalution, computerized batteries still are not used in the majority of tests in clinical neuropsychology. Besides the impressive collection of neuropsychological instruments, the role of the educated and experienced cllinican in neuropsychological evaluation is irreplaceble.
