Cognitive Assessment

Course Description

This course introduces students to the theory, concepts, and socio-political and historical foundations relevant to cognitive assessment. Students gain familiarity with the knowledge and skills needed to administer, score, and interpret specific measures of cognitive functioning in a professionally and ethically responsible manner in both face-to-face and telehealth environments. Students practice assessment selection, assessment data integration, case formulation, diagnostics, and report writing, based on assessment findings.  This course has a skill-based, face-to-face required in-residence component which is designed to be hands-on, intensive, and cumulative in order to promote learning and skill-building that will generalize to 'real-world' practice across age ranges and diverse treatment populations. Students gain experience in administration and scoring and begin to develop evidence-based consultation and test interpretation feedback skills. At the required in-residence, students must demonstrate mastery of course requirements considered essential in the professional practice of psychology (professional knowledge, skills, and attitudes).  Pr-requisites PSYR 8117L PSYR 8232L
