In this scoping review, we summarize the current knowledge of cognitive functioning in adults with cerebral palsy (CP), and identify the neuropsychological tests typically used in this population. 39 studies from the period January 1990 - August 2023 were included in the review, and they differ widely in their aims and approach to studying cognition. Very few studies have cognitive assessment as their core aim and use a neuropsychological test battery. The included studies show great variability in reported intelligence and cognitive functioning in adults with CP, and cognitive deficits have been reported in all cognitive domains. Most of the studies suffer from methodological limitations, and there is ample room for improvement within the field. We conclude by suggesting a number of recommendations that may contribute to increasing our understanding of cognitive impairments in adults with CP.
