Written by a multi-disciplinary team of experts in neurobehaviour, this concise, well-illustrated book provides long-awaited normative data on clock drawing from ages 20 to 90 years.A practical guide to the quantitative assessment of clock drawing, it also takes a process-oriented approach to qualitative impairment. The authors discuss clock drawing as a neuropsychological test instrument and the rationale for selecting specific time settings, as well as the basis for using different clock conditions.The book contains numerous examples of clocks drawn by patients with cognitive impairment due to dementia, metabolic encephalopathy, traumatic brain injury, disconnection syndrome and focal brain lesions. Insight into changes in clock drawing ability that may represent the earliest markers of cognitive decline in dementia are also presented. This volume will be of interest to clinicians and researchers in neuropsychology, neurology, psychiatry, geriatric medicine, language therapy, and occupational therapy. It offers readers normative data on the clock drawing task, guidelines for administration and scoring, and a rich selection of clock drawings that illustrate the abnormalities commonly encountered in clinical practice and research.

Technology and Neuropsychology explores the evolving intersection between digital innovation and clinical neuropsychology research and practice. The volume brings together leading experts to examine how technology is reshaping core aspects of neuropsychological practice across education, assessment, and intervention spheres. Delving into topics such as teleneuropsychology, AI in cognitive assessment, smart environments, and the use of technology to enhance feedback and report writing, the book highlights how digital tools can support cognitive health and functioning of those we serve. Further, it emphasizes the role of technology in early detection, real-world functioning, and cognitive prosthetics, offering practical insights for clinicians and researchers. Designed for neuropsychologists, trainees, and allied professionals, this volume serves as both a reference and a roadmap for integrating technology into neuropsychological practice. It also provides a forward-looking perspective on how the field can shape the future of neurotechnology through thoughtful, inclusive, and evidence-based approaches.
