'''Edith Kaplan''' is a respected pioneer of [[neuropsychological test]]s who did most of her work at the [[VA Boston Healthcare System|Boston VA Hospital]]. She developed a refined version of the widely used [[Halstead-Reitan]] battery and mentored many prominent researchers. She is also the founder of the [[Boston Process Approach]] to neuropsychological test interpretation, which examines the process by which the patient solves a problem rather than simply looking at the patient's numerical scores. The Boston Process also tailors which tests to give a patient instead of administering an entire test battery to every subject, regardless of their condition. Kaplan helped create the Boston Diagnostic [[Aphasia]] Examination, the [[Boston Naming Test]], and other tools to describe and treat aphasia. She is currently a professor at [[Suffolk University]] in Boston and at [[Boston University]].
