In younger adults (< 55 years old) the most prevalent cognitive deficit is memory impairment. CONCLUSIONS. The expert neuropsychologist performs thorough neuropsychological evaluations from an interpretative approach. The results of this study suggest the importance of this figures role in neurology services and point out future aims.
