Příspěvek se zaměřuje na neuropsychologické výzkumy percepční laterality realizované na Slovensku. Opisují se především adaptace a varianty metodik zkoumání sluchové, zrakové a hmatové laterality, diskutují se možnosti jejich aplikace v neuropsychologické diagnostice.
Příspěvek nastiňuje přehled vývoje oboru neuropsychologie ve světě i u nás, v tehdejším Československu doplněný zkušenostmi z práce v neuropsychologické laboratoři v Psychiatrickém centru v Heiloo v Nizozemí. Je pojednán stav neuropsychologické diagnostiky a následné rehabilitace jedinců s postiţením mozku.
