160| Introduction to Neuropsychological Test Interpretation and Regression-Based Norms – A Conversation With Dr. Andrew Kiselica

Today we give you our conversation with Dr. Andrew Kiselica about neuropsychological test interpretation. Andrew is a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist and Associate Professor in the Institute of Gerontology at the University of Georgia. He recently first authored a review paper providing clinically relevant guidance regarding neuropsych test interpretation. In the paper they cover a variety of specific topics such as regression based norms, multivariate base rates, and within-person variability, among others. In our conversation with Andrew, we covered most of these individual topics and we are going to break this one up and release it in chunks, with each episode reflecting a different topic. Today’s topic is an overall introduction to neuropsychological test interpretation and then a specific conversation about regression based norms.
