Strategy application is assessed by scoring behaviors that align with dimensions of attention and perception (Perceive), learning, memory and recall (Recall), planning, decision-making and judgment (Plan), and the capacity to act on decisions and follow-through with plans (Perform). The PRPP Assessment is used internationally, and has been translated into several languages. It has established validity in a variety of practice domains including neurology, mental health, learning disabilities, autism, chronic pain, HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders, and dementia.
