From the Manual
"Rationale: Neuropsychological tests generally measure neurocognitive functions, such as attention, memory, or visuospatial ability. Neuropsychological test batteries sometimes ignore measurements of emotional and behavioral functioning, in spite of empirical evidence for the importance of neural substrates in emotional processing. Having tests that provide information on emotional aspects of a person is critical to a comprehensive neuropsychological examination."
