Key Points

To evaluate the validity, interpretability, and methodological boundaries of neuroscientific measurements used in clinical neuropsychological decision-making.
Critical conceptual analysis of measurement theory and neurotechnological tools within clinical neuroscience.
Methodological review evaluating the alignment between neuroscientific metrics and individual behavioral outcomes.
Highlights substantial validity gaps when translating technical neuroimaging and biomarker measurements into predictions of everyday functional capacity.
Identifies that technological precision often creates an unwarranted illusion of clinical certainty without improving individual diagnostic accuracy.

Implication

Conceptual analysis examines measurement validity in clinical neuropsychology, highlighting risks of overreliance on neuroscientific technology for diagnosis.

Abstract

These issues are particularly consequential for applied neuropsychology, where clinical decisions depend on the validity and interpretability of neuroscientific measures. Neuroscience is among the ...
