Clinical Neuropsychology THE SOCIETY FOR CLINICAL NEUROPSYCHOLOGY Division 40 of the American Psychological Association Volume 40, Number 1 Winter / Spring 2021 A LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Dear members of the Society for Clinical Neuropsychology, I think I speak for most of us when I say, “Phew! What a year!” I recently read Letter to My Daughter (Random House, 2008), a book of essays by American poet, memoirist, and civil rights activist, Maya Angelou, dedicated to the “daughter she never had but sees all around her” in the “… Black and White, Jewish and Muslim, Asian, Spanish speaking, Native Americans and Aleut…fat and thin and pretty and plain, gay and straight, educated and unlettered” Deb Hoffnung women of the world. A line in one of the essays that really resonated with me speaks to our power to decide how our challenges and successes impact and define us: “You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them”. In a year where we have mourned the deaths of so many named and unnamed Americans, watched the effects of global warming in wildfires and deadly hurricanes, cancelled vacations and overseen remote learning, mastered Zoom and missed holiday gatherings with our families, celebrated the first Black, South Asian, woman elected to vice president, and rejoiced in the development and roll­out of the COVID­19 vaccines, I think we can be proud of the strength and resilience we have all shown. In this newsletter’s pages, I invite you to read SCN President Heather Belanger’s report on what has been a very active year for the SCN Executive Committee and committee and subcommittee members; an invited tribute to Paul Green written by his friend and colleague, Roger Gervais; an article on the state of women in neuropsychology featuring interviews with the chairs of NAN and SCN’s women’s leadership committees; and updates on the recent activities, accomplishments, and opportunities provided by our committee and subcommittee chairs. It has been my pleasure to oversee six issues of this newsletter, but it is time for me to turn over the reins to someone new. If you are interested in this twice a year commitment or have colleagues who would like to serve the organization and share its work with the membership, please contact me at deborah.hoff[email protected] Deborah S.

Belanger, PhD, ABPP SCN President First, let me start by saying that I’m incredibly honored to serve as your President this year. It is a privilege to work on your behalf alongside the esteemed group of professionals who serve on the SCN Executive Committee – truly one of the great honors of my career. And, despite the challenges presented by the year 2020, your representatives have forged ahead and made significant progress for our organization and our field. I’m delighted to share with you some of the most pertinent accomplishments to date. Ever a fan of lists, I bring them to you as such: 1) Of great import, we were able to gain an additional seat on the APA Council of Repre­ sentatives. We now have re­gained the 5th seat that we lost a few years ago, thanks to you apportioning your ballots to SCN. THANK YOU! Now, only one other division (39 – Psychoanalysis) has this many seats on Council. This gives us an important voice Heather Belanger within “big APA”. 2) Additionally, I am pleased to report that the two APA bylaw amendments (both supported by SCN) were passed – giving graduate student members the ability to vote and giving Ethnic Minority Psychological Associations a seat on Council. 3) Earlier in the year, SCN formed a Strategic Planning Advisory Group and began the arduous task of taking a deep look inward (and outward). We are so fortunate to have such an accomplished and diverse group working on our behalf! Be on the lookout for updates about their activities in the coming year, which may include focus groups among our stakeholders. I want to thank these individuals for their past and continued hard work, as we look for ways to enhance the ‘value added’ by SCN and continue to develop our unique identity amidst so many other professional organizations. If you see any of these individuals, please thank them (in a socially distanced way of course): Lynette Abrams­Silva, PhD, Co­Chair Scott Sperling, PsyD, Co­Chair Paula Shear, PhD Tony Stringer, PhD, ABPP Samantha Stern, PhD Emily Duggan, PhD Rebecca Ready, PhD, ABPP Justin Miller, PhD David LeChuga, PhD Justin Karr, PhD Shawn McClintock, PhD 4) I am also excited to announce that Dr. Laura Zahodne from the University of Michigan has been awarded the Levitt Early Career Award – congratulations to her! 5) I hope you will consider submitting your work for the 2021 APA Convention. Last year’s virtual meeting had some impressive statistics: 14,000+ attendees 4 17% increase from 2019 meeting 320% increase in students attending 307% increase in non­members attending 167% increase in attendees from other countries (101 countries represented). 6) In concert with the IOPC, SCN submitted formal objections to CMS concerning its latest proposed rule that would allow non­physician practitioners (NPPs) such as PA’s and Nurse Practitioners to supervise/perform neu­ ropsychological testing services. Unfortunately, even though CMS was sympathetic to our concerns, it was decided that it would be left to states to determine if these activities were within the NPP scope of licensure for that state. I would encourage you to bring this to the attention of your state psychological associations. 7) In 2020, SCN provided input on an amicus brief completed in Michigan related to third party observation (TPO). 8) SCN also provided comments on APA’s Guidelines for the Evaluation of Dementia and Age­Related Cognitive Change. 9) Finally, one of my goals as SCN president has been to call greater attention to neuropsychologists within the larger APA community. Despite being the largest Division within APA, one rarely sees Neuropsychology high­ lighted in any way, or recognized via the many awards APA conveys. Dr. Rachel Keelan, our APA Relations Chair, and I will be working on changing that this year These are just a few of the things we’ve been working on. While much of this effort goes on behind the scenes, rest assured the Executive Committee, committee chairs, and committee members are hard at work on your behalf, and that we are moving ahead with several important agenda items. I hope this newsletter finds you well. With all the recent chaos hopefully behind us as a nation, I sincerely hope we can refocus our attention to the discipline and career that we love (and to making the world a better place, one Wechsler Memory Scale at a time). Heather G. Belanger, PhD, ABPP [email protected] 5 FEATURE ARTICLE Deborah S. Hoffnung, PhD, ABPP SCN Newsletter Editor Women in Neuropsychology: Where Things Stand In their 2010 article in Clinical Neuropsychology (24(3): 481­492), Hilsabeck and Martin called attention to gender inequality in our profession, and specifically, the shortage of women in leadership roles. In addition to highlighting factors contributing to gender bias and disparity, the authors offered practical advice on how to overcome barriers, and emphasized the role professional organizations could play in promoting the advancement of women within the field.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Cognitive Neuroscience Sequence
    Neuroscience Major: Sequence in Cognitive Neuroscience If you are a student who is interested in the human brain, and how it links to the human mind and complex human behaviors-- from before birth through adulthood, then this is the Neuroscience track for you! Note: This track is approved as a multidisciplinary major for ISS scholars at CMC. I. Overview The CogNeuro sequence in the Neuroscience major equips students with the knowledge of how to relate information processing in the human brain to human mental processes and behavior. Mental processes include perception, attention, voluntary movement, memory, conceptual biases, language, imagery, emotions, problem solving, decision-making, and social judgment. There are 2 main tracks within the CogNeuro track: 1) one for students who plan to attend graduate school for cognitive, social, or cultural neuroscience, or who want to obtain a job in a research lab at graduation; and 2) one for all other students (e.g. those who plan to attend medical or nursing or veterinary or dentistry school or graduate school for clinical psychology or law school or business school As for all of the sequences you should be choosing your 4 courses with the advice of the faculty who will be your Neuroscience major advisor, who will most likely be your senior thesis first reader and primary mentor. Below we give some requirements and general guidelines. II.

  • Biologicau Co~Ntrir~Utio~Rne to the Development Of
    ,- B BiologicaU Co~ntriR~utio~rneto the Development of Psychology KARL H. PRIBRAM AND DANIEL N. ROBINSON INTRODUCTION This chapter concerns several important influences that biology has had on the development of psychology as a science. Specifically, we attempt to account for an apparent paradox: In the nineteenth century, rapid advances were made in relating biology in general and brain func- tion in particular to the phenomena of mind. Throughout much of the first half of the twentieth century, however, these same relationships were all but ignored and the foundations for a scientific psychology were sought in the environment. The biological aspects of psychology, perhaps more than other special branches of the discipline, resist historical compression. Psychobiology, as we shall call the subject,' is deeply rooted in both philosophy and 4 ' There is still no universally accepted criterion for distinguishing among the terms physiological psychology, psychobiology, neuropsychology, and biopsychology. A grow- ' ing convention would reserve the term neuropsychology to theory about the human ; nervous system based on research involving complex cognitive processes, often in settings in which clinical findings are directly relevant. Physiological psychology strikes many as too restricted, for much current work falls under headings such as biophysics, computer science, or microanatomy that are synonymous with physiology. Thus, psychobiology is used here to refer to the broadest range of correlative studies in which biobehavioral investigations are undertaken and referenced to phenomenal experience. 345 POINTS OF VIEW IN THE Copyright 0 1985 by Academic Press, Inc.

  • Cognitive Processes in Dissociation: an Analysis of Core Theoretical Assumptions
    Psychological Bulletin Copyright 2008 by the American Psychological Association 2008, Vol. 134, No. 5, 617–647 0033-2909/08/$12.00 DOI: 10.1037/0033-2909.134.5.617 Cognitive Processes in Dissociation: An Analysis of Core Theoretical Assumptions Timo Giesbrecht Steven Jay Lynn Maastricht University and Mount Sinai School of Medicine State University of New York, Binghamton Scott O. Lilienfeld Harald Merckelbach Emory University Maastricht University Dissociation is typically defined as the lack of normal integration of thoughts, feelings, and experiences into consciousness and memory. The present article critically evaluates the research literature on cognitive processes in dissociation. The authors’ review indicates that dissociation is characterized by subtle deficits in neuropsychological performance (e.g., heightened distractibility). Some of the cognitive phenomena (e.g., weakened cognitive inhibition) associated with dissociation appear to be dependent on the emotional or attentional context. Contrary to a widespread assumption in the clinical literature, dissociation does not appear to be related to avoidant information processing. Rather, it is associated with an enhanced propensity toward pseudo-memories, possibly mediated by heightened levels of interrog- ative suggestibility, fantasy proneness, and cognitive failures. Evidence for a link between dissociation and either memory fragmentation or early trauma based on objective measures is conspicuously lacking. The authors identify a variety of methodological issues and discrepancies

We first focus on language disorders, the sequelae of injuries in the left hemisphere, and neuropsychology restricted to the medical field in Europe, the United States, and Brazil. In the middle of the last century, attention to the interdisciplinary importance of studies on the right hemisphere began. Studies consequently emerged on the individual variability of brain function with both biological and cultural origins. Based on this approach, Brazilian studies on aphasic children and illiterate aphasic persons were disseminated internationally.

  • INS Distinguished Career Award Hawaii
    INS Distinguished Career Award Hawaii Dirk Bakker Dirk Bakker has been a true pioneer in the Netherlands within the field of neuropsychology, especially child neuropsychology. His research career spanning about forty years of work has specifically focused on dyslexia related to the hemispheric specialization of functions. Dirk started his intriguing research by developing a neuropsychological model of the process of normal and abnormal reading. He validated his model of developmental dyslexia with electrophysiological (ERP) measures in longitudinal studies of normal children as well as of children with different subtypes of dyslexia. Even more innovative and challenging is his research concerning treatment of dyslexia, based on stimulation of one or the other hemisphere in dyslexics. Dirk Bakker studied psychology at the Free University in Amsterdam and completed his PhD thesis in 1972. He was Head of the Research Department of the Paedological Institute in Amsterdam from 1962 to 1998. In 1979, he became a professor of child and clinical neuropsychology at the Free University in Amsterdam, retiring in 1997. In this period he supervised with great care and pleasure a lot of master’s theses and PhD dissertations, and also received many grants for his research. Dirk was consulting editor of a number of journals, including the Journal of Clinical and Experimental Neuropsychology, Journal of Learning Disabilities and Journal of Child Neuropsychology. He has published a large number of articles in important neuropsychological journals, has written many chapters, and was co-editor of several books. Dirk’s studies about dyslexia are summarized in his own book ‘Neuropsychological treatment of dyslexia’, published in 1990.

  • Building a “Cross-Roads Discipline” at Mcgill University: a History of Early Experimental Psychology in Postwar Canada
    BUILDING A “CROSS-ROADS DISCIPLINE” AT MCGILL UNIVERSITY: A HISTORY OF EARLY EXPERIMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY IN POSTWAR CANADA ERIC OOSENBRUG A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Psychology. Graduate Program in Psychology York University Toronto, Ontario October 2020 © Eric Oosenbrug, 2020 Abstract This dissertation presents an account of the development of psychology at McGill University from the late nineteenth century through to the early 1960s. The department of psychology at McGill represents an alternative to the traditional American-centered narrative of the cognitive revolution and later emergence of the neurosciences. In the years following World War II, a series of psychological experiments established McGill as among the foremost departments of psychology in North America. This thesis is an institutional history that reconstructs the origins, evolution, and dramatic rise of McGill as a major center for psychological research. The experiments conducted in the early 1950s, in the areas of sensory restriction, motivation, and pain psychology, were transformative in their scope and reach. Central to this story is Donald O. Hebb, author of The Organization of Behavior (1949), who arrived at McGill in 1947 to find the charred remains of a department. I argue that the kind of psychology Hebb established at McGill was different from most departments in North America; this is developed through a number of interwoven storylines focused on the understanding of a particular character of McGill psychology - a distinctive “psychological style” - and its broader historical importance for Canadian psychology, for North American psychology, and for psychology across the globe.
