USE OF NEPSY II IN ADULT COGNITIVE DISABILITY AS AN ASSESSMENT FOR MOTOR AND LEARNING ACTIVITIES

Abstract

This article aims to try to demonstrate the theoretical basis demonstrated in the previous work (Morsanuto, Marsico, 2019).It started with the heterogeneous diagnosis of a sample of adult subjects with cognitive impairment by evaluating them through a dynamic assessment that looked at the "trends" of some cognitive skills of the subjects.The estimate used some tests of the NEPSY II assessment battery, which investigates neuropsychological development in the evolutionary, preschool and school ages, between the ages of 3 and 16. An attempt was made to create a relationship between the age of the instrument and the cognitive age of those with a delay. The tests and procedures are not only simple administration, but very eye-catching and as a prerequisite the tool was well received by the subjects while needing some changes in administration.
