When Handbook of Normative Data for Neuropsychological Assessment was published in 1999, it was the first book to provide neuropsychologists with summaries and critiques of normative data for neuropsychological tests. The Second Edition, which has been revised and updated throughout, presents data for 26 commonly used neuropsychological tests, including: Trailmaking, Color Trails, Stroop Color Word Interference, Auditory Consonant Trigrams, Paced Auditory Serial Addition, Ruff 2 and 7, Digital Vigilance, Boston Naming, Verbal Fluency, Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure, Hooper Visual Fluency, Design Fluency, Tactual Performance, Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised, Rey Auditory-Verbal learning, Hopkins Verbal learning, WHO/UCLA Auditory Verbal Learning, Benton Visual Retention, Finger Tapping, Grip Strength (Dynamometer), Grooved Pegboard, Category, and Wisconsin Card Sorting tests. In addition, California Verbal learning (CVLT and CVLT-II), CERAD ListLearning, and selective Reminding Tests, as well as the newest version of the Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS-III and WMS-IIIA), are reviewed. Locator tables throughout the book guide the reader to the sets of normative data that are best suited to each individual case, depending on the demographic characteristics of the patient, and highlight the advantages associated with using data for comparative purposes. Those using the book have the option of reading the authors' critical review of the normative data for a particular test, or simply turning to the appropriate data locator table for a quick reference to the relevant data tables in the Appendices. The Second Edition includes reviews of 15 new tests. The way the data are presented has been changed to make the book easier to use. Meta-analytic tables of predicted values for different ages (and education, where relevant) are included for nine tests that have a sufficient number of homogeneous datasets. No other reference offers such an effective framework for the critical evaluation of normative data for neuropsychological tests. Like the first edition, the new edition will be welcomed by practitioners, researchers, teachers, and graduate students as a unique and valuable contribution to the practice of neuropsychology.

Neuropsychology of Malingering and Non-Credible Presentations: Perspectives on Validity Assessment is a comprehensive guide to understanding and addressing concerns about the accuracy of cognitive performances and symptom reports during neuropsychological evaluations. This updated second edition reflects major advances in the field, offering practical strategies for diagnosing, documenting, and managing validity issues in both clinical and forensic contexts.The book begins with foundational concepts of validity assessment, including the evolution of key terms and statistical principles. It then moves into detailed case examples across diverse settings – civil and criminal litigation, disability evaluations, and routine clinical practice – illustrating how performance and symptom validity concerns arise and are addressed. Additional chapters explore cultural and linguistic considerations, ethical and professional issues, and the integration of multiple data sources such as interviews, behavioral observations, and psychometric testing. The content emphasizes real-world application while avoiding unnecessary technical jargon.This book is designed for advanced trainees and experienced professionals in clinical neuropsychology, as well as those working in forensic psychology and related fields. It serves as a practical resource for anyone seeking to improve their ability to detect, interpret, and manage non-credible presentations across a wide range of evaluation contexts.
