Abstract
Children´s neural-psychological assessment is a still fledging clinical practice in Brazil. Current paper is a systematic review of the literature on the characteristics of child neural-psychological assessment in Brazilian studies published in Portuguese. Articles published between 2004 and 2014 were retrieved from CAPES database. Ten out of 13 studies evaluated children with clinical conditions (epilepsy, prematurity or learning deficiencies). Most neural-psychological instruments used were international, manually worked, with respondent children. Attention, memory and intelligence were the main neural-psychological functions evaluated. Wechsler´s Intelligence Scale for Children and School Performance Test were the tools employed. Several identified traits were discussed.
