General Information
In October, 2006, I assumed responsibilities as Chair of the Department of Clinical and Health Psychology at the University of Florida in Gainesville, FL. Prior to October, I had spent 7 years as Director of the Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology. I have been a faculty member at UF since September, 1979. My research focuses on human memory disorders, epilepsy, and preclinical detection of dementia using a comparative neuropsychology approach. We have also recently started work examining evidence-based methods of assessing and managing sports concussion in youth. I teach courses in Critical Thinking, Cognitive Psychology, Forensic Neuropsychology, Clinical Neuropsychology and Evidence-Based Practice in Psychology. I currently have 5 Ph.D. students in my laboratory. I am Board Certified in Clinical Neuropsychology by the American Board of Clinical Neuropsychology (ABCN), a specialty board of the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP). I am also involved in national neuropsychological organizations. I am Past President of APA Division 40 (Clinical Neuropsychology) and currently serve as President of the International Neuropsychological Society (INS).

Current research in the
laboratory focuses on a comparative neuropsychology approach to human memory
disorders with applications to epilepsy and preclinical detection of dementia.
Several studies are ongoing in which paradigms adapted from the animal literature
are being applied to the study of human memory disorders. A list of current
Ph.D. students, their major research areas, and contact information, is provided
below.
