In this short paper, and especially in its
appendix, Dan Miller briefly
introduces the SNP model for neuropsychological assessment. This is an hierarchical model with seven
broad functioning areas. These broad classifications
are further subdivided into second order classifications. The model is based on the Cross Battery
Assessment model by Flanagan, CHC model, Luria model, a process-oriented
approach to assessment (Milberg, Hebben, & Kaplan), and neuropsychological
theories.
Miller and his colleagues classified various cognitive tests into the SNP model according to
published correlational and factorial data. When such data were not available, tests were
classified into the SNP Model based on what the authors reported the tests were
designed to measure. The nice thing
about this model is that it assesses each functioning area with different
modalities (visual, auditory and motor).
The seven SNP classifications loosely parallel
the CHC classifications. Here are links I've
made between CHC and SNP classifications:
