临床神经心理学传统上关注病理的诊断和治疗。然而，最近的技术进步已经开始使增强健康的神经认知功能成为可能。改善正常神经认知能力的潜力，以及提供这种改善的选择，引发了复杂的伦理问题。为了更好地服务于消费者、专业和社会，神经心理学家必须开始考虑与神经认知增强有关的伦理问题。本文回顾了神经认知增强的方法，介绍并研究了在考虑增强健康的神经认知功能时出现的伦理问题，并为进入这一新兴亚专业的神经心理学家提供了建议。
Clinical neuropsychology has traditionally focused on the diagnosis and treatment of pathology. However, recent technological advances have begun to make possible the enhancement of healthy neurocognitive functioning. The potential to improve normal neurocognitive abilities, and the options for providing such improvement, raise complex ethical issues. To best serve consumers, the profession, and society, neuropsychologists must begin to consider the ethical issues related to neurocognitive enhancement. This article reviews neurocognitive enhancement methods, introduces and examines ethical issues that emerge when the enhancement of healthy neurocognitive functioning is considered, and offers recommendations for neuropsychologists entering this emerging subspecialty.
