Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "neuropsychological" refers to the study of how the brain affects cognition and behavior. Therefore, psychologists would use paper-and-pencil neuropsychological tests to detect specific cognitive deficits. Option A, neurobiological, refers to the study of the biological basis of behavior and would not be appropriate for this scenario. Option B, neurological, refers to medical conditions affecting the nervous system and would be outside of a psychologist's expertise.
