PY-8151: Methods of Psych Assessment: Intelligence & Cognitive Functioning

This course continues an introduction to psychological assessment of individuals, with the major focus on the role of tests of cognitive abilities and general intelligence. Students will develop a beginning competence in the administration, scoring, and interpretation of 1-2 standard assessment measures of cognition (e.g., current versions of the Wechsler and Woodcock Johnson assessments). Attention will also be given to psychoeducational and neuropsychological assessment to enhance foundational understanding of the components of cognitive functioning. The culminating assignment will be an integrated report incorporating elements of both cognitive and personality assessment covered during the entire two-course sequence. Students will learn to draw inferences from the multiple measures to respond to referral questions. They will also continue to build upon foundational skills in developing accessible and individualized intervention recommendations and providing feedback to clients and referral sources in an accessible manner - prioritizing the wellbeing of the client.
