Research interests
My current research interests are focused on issues of clinical decision-making and symptom validity testing in neuropsychological assessment.  A particular focus has been on determining the usefulness of measures meant to assess test taking effort and validity in special populations, including those with mental retardation or severe mental illness.

I am also interested in better identifying and measuring neurobehavioral skills that historically have not been adequately addressed by traditional clinical neuropsychological tests.  These include tasks associated with frontal systems functioning, such as emotional perception, social awareness, problem-solving, and prospective memory.
