A hierarchical model of cognitive flexibility in children: Extending the relationship between flexibility, creativity and academic achievement

Learning Objectives:

  1. Explain the dimensional nature of cognitive flexibility and the importance of considering its different components during neuropsychological assessment and interventions.
  2. Describe how each flexibility component imposes different demands on executive functions and may differentially contribute to creativity and academic skills.

Long-term verbal memory deficit and associated hippocampal alterations in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome

Learning Objectives:

  1. Explain the necessity to develop tailored tools to evaluate cognition outside of the limits of standardized test available for this population.
  2. Describe how the cognitive phenotype of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) can inform on later psychiatric manifestations or the identification of subgroups of patients.

Executive functions and drawing in young children with cerebral palsy: Comparisons with typical development

Learning Objectives:

  1. Explain the importance of comparing executive functioning of preschool children with cerebral palsy (CP) and typically developing (TD) children.
  2. Describe how inhibitory control may assist the development of drawing abilities in TD preschoolers.

Risk Management Considerations for Safely Reopening Neuropsychology Practice in the Era of COVID-19

Abstract: This webinar will focus on considerations related to resuming in-person neuropsychological (NP) practice in the era of COVID-19. First, it will describe the range of models for providing care to NP patients. In that context, we will discuss the situations in which different models may be more or less appropriate. Second, the webinar will address a risk and benefit analysis relevant to the determination of which model to use. Third, ethical, risk management and legal aspects of the decision-making process will be reviewed.

Continuing Education: 1 CE credit for completing the webinar and passing a quiz based on it.

Presenters: Margaret Lanca, PhD & Daniel Taube, JD, PhD

Materials: The recorded webinar and slides will appear on the page with the quiz once you have purchased it.

Learning Objectives:

  1. List three models of providing neuropsychological services;
  2. Describe four factors to consider in the process of deciding whether to return to in-person services;
  3. Identify three risk management strategies to minimize harm to patients and providers as in-person services resume.

InterOrganizational Practice Committee Recommendations/Guidance for Teleneuropsychology (TeleNP) in Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic

Learning Objectives:

  1. Articulate  resources and established guidelines for telepsychology and specific recommendations about how extensions of these practices may apply to TeleNP in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
  2. Explain the progress and limitations of the current state of the art in teleneuropsychology.
