the study focused on patients with gliomas, they tested them before and after surgery. They had a series of questions that the patients had to answer, and their results were graded at the end. Then those results were compared to the average healthy adult answers. 

neuropsychological tests using paper and pencil for brain tumor patients 

Neuropsychologist have also decided to use an electronic app as their testing methods to test the brain function of patients with brain tumors. 

neuropsychological testing for brain tumors using an electronic app. 

The best approach is to use both methods of examination, the traditional to figure out any memory and verbal skills disfunction and the app to figure out any non-verbal disfunctions. 

Best approach to diagnosing brain tumors as Neuropsychologist 

The most traditional method that is used to diagnose the process of the brain tumor in neuropsych, is to use pencil and paper method. 

Neuropsychology plays a huge role in diagnosing brain tumors. Brain tumors effect certain parts of the brain. Having a brain tumor on those parts will result in cognitive changes. depending on those changes, neuropsychologist can determine the impact of the brain tumor.
