Hello dear, welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Neuropsychological tests are used to see how brain damage can affect the behaviour and ability of thinking.

As per your query some of the common tests can be:

Motor tests evaluate motor skills. They are the movements and actions of the bone structures.

Verbal communication test consists in naming some items as the person giving the test points at them.

Memory test consists of repeating number or sentences.

Cognitive tests consist in relating objects with each other.

Is the Halstead-Reitan Battery the one most used today? If not, what is the name or names of the most used tests?

Answered by Dr. Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi (7 hours later)

Brief Answer:
The Halstead-Reitan Battery is the most used method today.

Detailed Answer:
Hi again dear,

The Halstead-Reitan Battery is the most used method for clinical evaluation of the brain-behavior relationship.

Another test is a Luria‐Nebraska Neuropsychological Battery.

The battery uses selected Luria test items that distinguish brain‐damaged patients from neurologically healthy individuals.

It consists in test items that are simple and complex commands such as motor commands and arithmetic.

Best wishes dear,

Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi
