A psychologist concerned with the relationships among cognition, affect, and behaviour on the one hand, and brain function on the other.
is a professional psychologist that studies and practices neuropsychology. Neuropsychology is the study of the relationship between the central nervous system (brain and spine) and behavior, from birth to old age. The assess cognitive domains such as attention and concentration, processing speed, memory, language functions, visuo-spatial ability, and executive functioning (initiation, cognitive flexibility, problem solving, self-montioring and inhibition). Psychology is the study and profession concerning behavior and the related functions and processes of both the mind and body, in human and non-human animals. Neuropsychologists have many different types of jobs and not every neuropsychologist does the same thing. Many neuropsychologists administer psychological tests and perform assessments to diagnose specific disorders of the brain. These brain disorders most often result in problems with thinking, emotions, and/or behavior. Neuropsychologists study ways to measure recovery from brain damage as well as strategies to rehabilitate (make better) people with brain damage and improve their care.
A person with a degree in psychology and specialist training or experience in the practice of neuropsychology. The study and practice of neuropsychology involves the identification, analysis and treatment of the cognitive, behavioural and affective consequences of brain damage.
A psychologist who specializes in brain/behavior relationships, especially neurocognitive conditions.
A clinical psychologist who conducts testing to quantify and localize impaired brain functioning.
a clinical psychologist who has had special training in neuroanatomy, neuropathology, cognitive psychology, and methods of evaluation
a person who specializes in studying brain-behavior relationships
a psychologist (See Psychologist) with advanced training in how brain injures can effect behavior
a psychologist specializing in spinal cord injury
a psychologist who has completed extra training in the behavioral effects of biologically based mental illnesses, such as autism and epilepsy
a psychologist who has specialized in the relationships between the brain and behavior
a psychologist who is specially trained to understand and treat the problems that occur following damage to the brain
a psychologist who specializes in addressing behavioral / cognitive impairments and issues of adjustment to disability as seen in brain injury, spinal cord injury, and stroke
a psychologist who specializes in studying brain behavior relationships
a psychologist with additional special training in the relationship between the brain and behavior
a psychologist with additional training in psychological testing - paper and pencil tests that try to localize and quantify posttraumatic brain dysfunction
a psychologist with special training in the evaluation of people who have suffered an injury or illness to the brain
a specialist with formally trained expertise in the differential diagnosis of disorders of higher cerebral functioning
A psychologist with specialized training in the evaluation of cognitive functions. Neuropsychologists use a battery of standardized tests to assess specific cognitive functions and identify areas of cognitive impairment. They also provide remediation for individuals with MS-related cognitive impairment. See Cognition and Cognitive impairment.
A psychologist who specializes in working with patients who have experienced brain injuries. Neuropsychologists often carry out special tests of brain function and work closely with the Rehabilitation team.
A psychologist who specializes in evaluating (by tests) brain/behavior relationships, planning training programs to help the survivor of brain injury return to normal functioning and recommending alternative cognitive and behavioral strategies to minimize the effects of brain injury. Often works closely with schools and employers as well as with family members of the injured person.
A neuropsychologist specializes in the study of the relationship between a person's brain and its performance. The neuropsychologist uses tests to tell how well different parts of the brain are working after an injury or illness. This helps the patient's care team understand any strengths or weaknesses that they might have with the patient's ability to perform everyday skills for living and working. This helps the team plan the patient's treatment, discharge and follow-up care and goals.
A psychologist who deals with the relationship between the nervous system, especially the brain, and cerebral or mental functions such as language, memory, and perception.
An individual who holds a doctoral degree (PhD) in clinical psychology or a related discipline and who specializes in the evaluation and management of brain dysfunction.
A psychologist who specializes in understanding how the structure and function of the brain relate to specific psychological processes and behaviors.
Professionals who specialize in the effect of brain injury on behavior and cognition. They help identify ways to improve relearning and compensating for neurological functions that are impaired.
Psychologist who specializes in brain-behavior relationships, looking at cognition, emotion, intellect and academic/vocational skills following a brain injury.
A psychologist whose evaluation focuses on the way in which a child's brain works.
A psychologist who has completed special training in the neurobiological causes of brain disorders, and who specializes in diagnosing and treating these illnesses using a predominantly medical (as opposed to psychoanalytical) approach.
With graduate training (usually a doctorate) in the biological basis of human behaviour, neuropsychologists provide psychological testing, diagnosis and behavioral treatments.
A neuropsychologist is a psychologist with specialized training in brain-behavior relationships and the evaluation of cognitive functions. Neuropsychologists use a battery of standardized tests to assess specific cognitive and behavioral functions and identify areas of cognitive impairment as they relate to brain functioning. A neuropsychologist who treats people with TSC is knowledgeable about the specific cognitive and behavioral issues that are common to the disorder and knows what treatment options are most effective for these issues.
