61| Specific Learning Disorders – A Conversation With Dr. Robin Peterson Dec 15, 2020

Show notes

Models for diagnosis and treatment of learning disorders have changed over time. Still, there are many old beliefs and myths that may lead parents and schools in the wrong direction when working with children with learning disorders. Today, John and Ryan talk with Robin Peterson, Ph.D., ABPP-CN, about learning disorders, issues around diagnosing disorders of written expression, the concept of academic g and its relationship to Spearman's g, risk factors for learning disorders, common comorbidities of learning disorders, the resource allocation hypothesis, and achievement gaps across groups.

60| Fundamentals of Human Neuropsychology – A Conversation With Dr. Bryan Kolb Dec 01, 2020

Show notes

The book Fundamentals of Human Neuropsychology was born of a need that Dr. Bryan Kolb recognized while completing his postdoctoral fellowship at the Montreal Neurological Institute with Dr. Brenda Milner. Dr. Kolb had asked his colleagues for a textbook on the human brain and, finding none, decided to create a course about "neuropsychology." Now, Drs. Kolb and Whishaw's textbook is about to be released in its 8th edition. John and Ryan talk with Dr. Kolb about his book, the contribution of animal research to human neuropsychology, the importance of the history of our field, advice on working with a co-author, and much more.

58| Keeping Neuropsychology Relevant: The AACN Relevance 2050 Initiative – A Conversation With Dr. Tony Stringer Nov 01, 2020

Show notes

The Relevance 2050 Initiative was first approved by the board of the American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology (AACN) in 2015 to direct efforts to address the increasing diversity of the United States. The Relevance 2050 Committee continues to support initiatives to recruit a more diverse pool of neuropsychologists, develop multicultural and multilinguistic norms, and to offer a network for neuropsychologists interested in diversity issues. John and Ryan talk with Dr. Anthony "Tony" Stringer, Ph.D., C.P.C.R.T., ABPP-CN, about the AACN Relevance 2050 Initiative and how neuropsychology can stay "relevant."

56| The D-KEFS, D-KEFS 2.0, and CVLT-3 – A Conversation With Dr. Dean Delis Oct 01, 2020

Show notes

There are several hallmark assessments of memory and higher-level cognitive functions that are commonly used and recognized by neuropsychologists. Among these are the Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System (D-KEFS) and the California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT), which were developed by Dr. Dean Delis, a board-certified neuropsychologist. Today, we talk with Dean about executive functions, the D-KEFS, the upcoming D-KEFS 2.0, and the CVLT-3.

54| Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation – A Conversation With Dr. Adam Woods Sep 01, 2020

Show notes

Neuromodulation may allow us to create sustained and generalizable changes in cognitive and brain functioning. For today's episode, John and Ryan talk with Adam Woods, Ph.D., a national leader in the field of neuromodulation, about how novel non-invasive interventions can potentially enhance the effects of cognitive training and lead to improved cognitive functioning in older adults at risk for dementia. They discuss the physics of neuromodulation, as well as different techniques currently in use in neuromodulation research. Additionally, he talks about where he sees the field of non-invasive brain stimulation going, and how he has come to understand himself as a neuroscientist in the world of neuropsychology.

52| The Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP) – A Conversation With Dr. Robert Latzman Aug 15, 2020

Show notes

Our current nosology of psychopathology relies on a categorical model that has notable limitations. For example, this medical model of classifying mental disorders does not account for the significant heterogeneity of symptom presentations across psychopathology. Today, we speak with Robert Latzman, Ph.D., to discuss the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP), an alternative nosology that uses factor analysis to address the issues with our current diagnostic classification standard.
