PSY 8240 - Advanced Cognitive Assessment

This course will more rigorously examine cognitive assessment measures in both children and adults. Students will have an opportunity to refine their skills on child and adult IQ measures, learn about academic/achievement testing in children and adolescents, developmental screening measures, and be introduced to other brief cognitive screening measures for both children and adults. Performance validity methods will also be explored. Ethical and cultural considerations in cognitive assessment will also be covered. This is the first course in the specialization sequence and should be taken in the fall semester of the 3rd year of training. Students must be at a practicum site where they have access to clients and assessment materials. The course has a residential
component completed at the RC (Advanced Cognitive Assessment Lab) with additional hands-on training related to test administration, scoring, and interpretation. Prerequisite: Formal acceptance to the Advanced Psychological
Assessment Specialization. 3 credit(s)
