The presented paper is focused on substantial features of neuropsychological examinations. The author emphasizes the application of different tests focused on the relationship between the brain and behaviour, but in particular the neuropsychological battery. He describes the Halstead--Reitan battery and possibilities of its application in children. He emphasizes the importance of neuropsychological rehabilitation and differentiates it from mere recording of the process of spontaneous recovery. He characterizes the main neuropsychological factors which affect recovery after traumatic brain damage. He mentions some of his own examples where he used these factors in clinical practice. The author describes also his own experience with computer rehabilitation using the SERMION--Train the Brain programme.
