Halstead-Reitan
Neuropsychological Test
Administration and
Interpretation
May 5 – 7, 2008
This seminar will provide participants with
information regarding the administration, validation, and interpretation of the
Halstead-Reitan Neuropsychological Test Battery.
Cases for presentations will be selected
from The Neuropsychology Center files to illustrate the HRB interpretation
methodology. Neurological conditions to be illustrated through case examples
will include head injury, stroke, and Alzheimer's Disease.
Registration is open to psychologists, psychology
graduate students, and psychology interns. Registration will be limited to 10 attendees. No previous knowledge or experience with
the HRB is necessary. However, attendees should be familiar with psychological
testing standards and procedures. This
is not an introduction to neuropsychology, and attendance at this seminar is
not sufficient to practice neuropsychology without additional education,
training, and experience.
