Over the past few decades, neuropsychological assessment has undergone significant evolution. Traditionally based on paper-and-pencil tests administered by clinicians, the field is now embracing digital formats offering enhanced standardization, replicability, and objectivity. It is widely acknowledged that administration procedures can influence patient performance, affecting both clinical...

The need for updated and openly available normative data represents a crucial challenge in contemporary neuropsychological assessment. Traditional paper-and-pencil tests remain widely used in clinical practice, yet many still rely on outdated norms, often inaccessible due to commercial restrictions. These limitations affect diagnostic accuracy, undermine clinical autonomy, and compromise the...

The development of new neuropsychological tools reflects the need to update traditional assessment methods by incorporating screening of sensory requirements, consistent computer-based procedures and open access practices. These advancements are examined through the Italian standardization and validation of a new task designed to measure phonological working memory abilities, which play a...

Prosopagnosia is a condition characterized by difficulties in face recognition, in the absence of agnosia and memory impairments. So far, no normative data are available for the Italian population allowing its comprehensive assessment. This work aims to standardize and provide normative data, reliability and validity of a prosopagnosia battery.

Introduction. Digital cognitive tools offer promising opportunities for first-level assessment of cognitive abilities, especially in primary care. This study had two aims: (1) to systematically review touchscreen-based tools validated for cognitive assessment in older adults in primary care; and (2) to present normative data for the Italian version of the Self-Administered Tasks Uncovering...

Neurodegenerative diseases represent one of the most significant challenges of healthcare systems, with implications for patients, caregivers, and society. Nowadays there are no definitive cures available, and early symptom recognition is essential to enable timely intervention and slow disease progression. However, traditional diagnostic methods are often complex, time and resource intensive,...
