    Clinical Neuropsychology What Is Clinical Neuropsychology?

    Clinical Neuropsychology What is Clinical Neuropsychology? A Neuropsychologist is a licensed psychologist trained to examine the link between a patient’s brain and behavior. A Neuropsychologist will assess neurological, medical, and genetic disorders, psychiatric illness and behavior problems, developmental disabilities, and complex learning issues. UNC PM&R’s Neuropsychologists work with children, adolescents, and adults. The primary goal of this service is to utilize results of the evaluation to collaborate with the patient and develop a treatment plan and recommendations that best fit the patient’s needs. Patients who may benefit from a Neuropsychological Evaluation include those with: • A neurological disorder such as epilepsy, hydrocephalus, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, multiple sclerosis, or hydrocephalus • An acquired brain injury from concussion or more severe head trauma, stroke, hydrocephalus, lack of oxygen, brain infection, brain tumor, or other cancers • Other medical conditions that may affect brain functioning, such as chronic heart, lung, kidney, or liver problems, diabetes, breathing issues, lupus, or other autoimmune diseases • A neurodevelopmental disorder such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida, intellectual disabilities, learning difficulties, ADHD disorder, or autism spectrum disorder • Problems with or changes in thinking, memory, or behavior with no clear known cause What is the evaluation like? The evaluation will be tailored to The evaluation may last between 3-6 address the patient’s specific concerns hours and typically includes: about functioning, and can address 1.

    Criteria for Unconscious Cognition: Three Types of Dissociation

    Perception & Psychophysics 2006, 68 (3), 489-504 Criteria for unconscious cognition: Three types of dissociation THOMAS SCHMIDT Universität Gießen, Gießen, Germany and DIRK VORBERG Technische Universität Braunschweig, Braunschweig, Germany To demonstrate unconscious cognition, researchers commonly compare a direct measure (D) of awareness for a critical stimulus with an indirect measure (I) showing that the stimulus was cognitively processed at all. We discuss and empirically demonstrate three types of dissociation with distinct ap- pearances in D–I plots, in which direct and indirect effects are plotted against each other in a shared effect size metric. Simple dissociations between D and I occur when I has some nonzero value and D is at chance level; the traditional requirement of zero awareness is necessary for this criterion only. Sensitivity dissociations only require that I be larger than D; double dissociations occur when some experimental manipulation has opposite effects on I and D. We show that double dissociations require much weaker measurement assumptions than do other criteria. Several alternative approaches can be considered special cases of our framework.

    Acceptance Speech by Professor Omar M. Yaghi

    Omar Yaghi’s Speech for 2017 Albert Einstein Science Award I want to thank the principals of the World Cultural Council, organizers of the Einstein World Award of Science Prize, and the generous hospitality of our hosts, Leiden University’s executive body, faculty, staff, and students. Please allow me to express my deepest appreciation to Lily Hernandez for her thoughtfulness and dedication to help bring all this together. I am deeply honored to join the ranks of distinguished scholars who were awarded this prize in years past. Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to make the following brief remarks: As a child born to a refugee family, I firmly believe that each one of us is blessed with having an opportunity, a chance, a probability, to succeed in our chosen endeavor. I believe we are born with this opportunity and that we as individuals can work towards capturing it and, if we make the right decisions, we can grow and thrive. In other words, our ability to transform ourselves lies within us. I sincerely believe that this opportunity and the chance to succeed live in all of us. It is part of our DNA no matter who we are and where we come from. In my remarks here today, I wish to say something to those who may face at some point slim odds of success in their life, those who start at the lower rungs of the ladder, and those who experience difficulty and may feel sidelined by life’s twists and turns. I stand before you as a product of those slim odds and of a life of hardship such odds entail.
