Neuropsychology is the branch which studies relationships of brain and behavior. It emphasis on how the brain produces different responses to different stimulus. Neuropsychological functioning plays an important role as all the cognitive skills such as memory, language and attention changes and individual’s life if not functioning properly. So, young adult whose neuropsychological functioning are operating healthy have good I.Q and performs everyday functions easily. Neuropsychological functioning are very much related for the young adults some other variables like major depressive disorder is also an indicator for them. Bernhard T. Baune et.al. (2014) Impact of neuropsychological functioning has also been found effective among young adults with other variables like alcohol addiction and others. (Karen L. Hanson et.al.2011) So, an attempt has been made to study the neuropsychological functioning among young adults. 20 males and 20 female subjects have been taken for the study. Adult Neuropsychological Questionnaire of Fernando Melendez (1978) has been used for the present study. Results indicate that male subjects showed slightly weaker neuropsychological functioning compared to female subjects of the study (Male= 15.85, Female= 15.15). Female subjects also showed more variability of responses compared to male subjects (Male S.D.= 6.29, Female S.D = 7.94). “t” value has been found significant at 0.05 level. Therefore, the neuropsychological functioning of male and female subjects has been found in this study.
