Abstract Objective The National Academy of Neuropsychology (NAN), the American Clinical (AACN), and College Professional (ACPN) collaborated to publish an update their original position statements, confirming organizations' opposition third party observer (TPO). Method A review literature addressing TPO effects, ethical standards, professional organization test publisher policies new telemedici...

NeuroReport 5, 2381-2384 (1994) WHEN two concurrent sensorimotor tasks require separate responses, selection of the first response generally delays selection of the second. Dual-task performance was examined in four patients who had undergone surgical transection of the forebrain commissures including the corpus callosum. One light flash was presented to each visual field in succession, and pat...

The neural basis of auditory perception can be investigated non-invasively by recording event-related brain potentials (ERPs) during auditory stimulation.1 ERPs can be conceptualized as a sequence of components each with its own set of neural generators and reflecting different psychological functions.2 The ERP component termed the mismatch negativity (MMN) reflects a pre-attentive auditory dev...

In event-related potentials (ERPs) studies, recognition memory is associated with two positivities: one over parietal regions, and one over frontal regions. With nameable neutral stimuli, such as words or common objects, the parietal effect is usually left lateralized, and the frontal effect is usually right lateralized. We investigated the lateralization of these effects for nonnameable emotio...

The aims of this paper are: 1) to show the role of clinical experience for the theoretical contributions of L.S. Vygotsky, and 2) to analyze the development of these theories in contemporary applied neuropsychology. An analysis of disturbances of mental functioning is impossible without a systemic approach to the evidence observed. Therefore, medical psychology is fundamental for forming a syst...

A deviant sound in a sequence of repeating (standard) sounds elicits the mismatch negativity (MMN) component in the event-related brain potential (ERP) recorded from the scalp.1 The MMN is elicited even when the subject is instructed to ignore the auditory stimuli and attend to other stimuli. In the ERP to deviant sounds, the MMN overlaps with the negative N1 (peak latency about 100 ms from sti...

OBJECTIVE This is an invited paper for a special issue on international perspectives on training and practice in clinical neuropsychology. We provide a review of the status of clinical neuropsychology in Israel, including the history of neuropsychological, educational, and accreditation requirements to become a clinical neuropsychologist and to practice clinical neuropsychology. METHOD The in...
