PERSONAL STATEMENT

I am Director of the NetDragon Digital Research Centre at the University of North Texas. My work integrates neuropsychology, psychophysiology, and simulation technologies for novel assessment, modeling, and training of neurocognitive and affective processes. I am a leading scientist in this area and I have been PI of 17 funded projects during my career and an investigator on an additional 13 funded projects (over $15 million in funding). In addition to my patents for eHarmony.com's Matching System (U.S. Patent Nos. 2004/6735568; 2014/0180942 A1), I have invented and validated virtual reality-based assessments of attention (Parsons, et al., 2007; 2011); spatial abilities (Parsons et al., 2004; Parsons et al., 2013); memory (Parsons & Rizzo, 2008b); and executive functions (Parsons et al., 2011; Parsons et al., 2012; Parsons, Courtney, & Dawson, 2013; Parsons & Courtney, 2014; Parsons & Carlew, 2016; Parsons & Courtney, 2018). I use neural networks and machine learning to model mechanisms underlying reinforcement learning, decision making, working memory, and inhibitory control (Wu & Parsons, 2011a, 2011b, 2012; Wu, Lance, & Parsons, 2013). In addition to my five books, I have over 200 publications in peer reviewed journals and book chapters. I have served as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Psychiatry, Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, and the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease. I have served on the editorial boards of Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking; Assessment; Brain Sciences; Psychological Assessment; PsycCRITIQUES; and several advisory boards. My contributions to neuropsychology were recognized when I received the 2013 National Academy of Neuropsychology Early Career Achievement award. In 2014, I was awarded Fellow status in the National Academy of Neuropsychology.

TEACHING/MENTORING

As a teacher and mentor, I endeavor to build students’ strengths by helping them understand the course material or the theory behind a research project, to think critically and absorb both the larger picture and the relevant details of a concept or a study, and finally, to apply what they have learned to their own lived experiences. Beyond intellectual growth, I also encourage students to be open to others’ diverse perspectives, helping them to see the value in considering alternative viewpoints. Ultimately, I want my students to leave the classroom/research experience with both a solid grasp of neuropsychological theory and broader intellectual, interpersonal, and professional skills.

Courses Taught

• Neurobiological Bases of Behavior: This course focuses on the biological determinants of behavior, including such topics as human neuroanatomy, neuropathology, and neurobehavioral correlates of cerebral function.

• Physiological Psychology: Fundamentals of Physiological Psychology, including basic neurophysiological laboratory techniques and a survey of current research with an in-depth study in one research area by each student.

• Perception and Cognition: A general survey of current data in perception and cognition. Perception topics covered are psychophysics, sensory psychology, perceptual constancies and the development of perception. Cognition topics include short- and long-term memory, problem solving, concept formation and the acquisition of knowledge. The information processing approach is emphasized as a means of interpreting perception and cognition.

• Learning and Cognition: Study and analysis of models of cognitive systems including acquiring, manipulating, storing, interpreting, and using information; special emphasis on the unique interactions between human information processing and computer-based processing as they apply to the instructional environment.

• General Linear Model (GLM): This course prepares students to analyze research data and understand analyses at a conceptual level. Discussion of issues in research design and philosophy of science are included. Students gain conceptual understanding of why psychologists use the GLM and underlying meaning of commonly used statistical techniques.

• Research and Evaluation: Students gain advanced skills in understanding and applying statistical techniques to the analysis of research data. Strategies for conducting effective evaluations are considered as students plan an evaluation using appropriate statistical analysis. Students gain experience in the use of computers for statistical analysis.

• Philosophy and History of Psychology: A survey of the historical and philosophical ideas that guide educational theory and practice. Emphasis is on ethical clarification and practical application of ideas in current, diverse educational settings. Emphases are placed upon various philosophical systems in education and on the related issue of worldviews.

• Psychology Practicum: Readings, lectures and discussion to develop an appropriate level of knowledge (e.g., relationship of psychological science and practice, ethics, APA). Teaches technical skills necessary for a scientist-practitioner in the student's specialty (e.g., empirically- based and evidence-based evaluation and intervention, assessment, consultation).

• Neuropsychological Assessment: Directed readings into neuropsychological assessment and the diverse variables involved in administration, scoring, interpretation, and reporting of neuropsychological assessment results. The importance of interpreting test results within the context of individual cases and describing potential functional implications is highlighted.

• Social Neuroscience: Exploration of current social neuroscience research (i.e., when neuroscience methods are useful and when they are not); and considerations of future experimental designs using this new approach to further inform our understanding of social phenomena.

• Cyberpsychology and the Brain: Explores neurocognitive processes in human computer interaction. Emphasis placed upon neural correlates of social media, cybersecurity, NeuroIS, and videogames.

Directed Studies

• Honors College (Thesis): Major research project prepared by the student under the supervision of a faculty member and presented in standard thesis format. An oral defense is required of each student for successful completion of the thesis.

• Honors College Mentored Research: Research experience conducted by an honors student with at least junior standing under the supervision of a faculty member. Prerequisite(s): Admission to the Honors College; at least junior class status; consent of Honors College dean.

• Neuropsychometrics: Topics include neuropsychological testing, inter-individual variation in cognitive decline with normal aging, neuropsychometric examination, cognitive strengths and weaknesses, and intervention plans.

• Neuropsychology Research Practicum: Supervised experience in neuropsychology research. Supervised training in the application of neuropsychological services in a clinic and experimental settings
