In the 1970s and 1980s, a multitude of cognitive rehabilitation programs proliferated to facilitate recovery after brain injury. However only a few programs provided a framework for ameliorating disturbances in the cognitive, psychological, and interpersonal spheres of the brain-injured patient. Greatly influenced by Leonard Diller and Yehuda Ben-Yishay\u2019s ideas and methods, George P. Prigatano began, in early 1980, a holistic neuropsychological rehabilitation program at the Presbyterian Hospital in Oklahoma City.\u00a0 George P. Prigatano\u2019s contributions to neuropsychological rehabilitation and clinical neuropsychology are essential to understanding the therapeutic approaches currently used in the treatment of brain-injured patients.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

It is my pleasure to nominate Professor Emerita Tate for the Distinguished Career Award. I believe she is a worthy recipient having made major, sustained contributions to the field of neuropsychology in its true interdisciplinary sense and forging new directions. Specifically, she is an internationally recognized leader in four inter-related areas of empirical research that have directly improved treatment and rehabilitation procedures for persons who must contend with the disabilities associated with acquired brain disorders: Her contributions can be summarized as leading major initiatives to improve (i) outcome instruments, (ii) evidence-based clinical practice, (iii) rehabilitation options, (iv) research methodology for single-case designs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAs a researcher, Professor Dikmen has made seminal contributions to the field of traumatic brain injury over more than 40 years. Beginning in the 1970s, she conducted some of the first and certainly most important studies of outcome following mild moderate and severe TBI. These studies were so important because they included large samples, were carefully controlled and achieved outstanding follow-up rates. Sureyya thereby brought objectivity and rigour to this field. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

After completing his medical studies, Walsh became interested in abnormal behaviour, and during his tenure as a Neuropsychiatric Medical Officer at the\u00a0Mont Park Mental Hospital, he studied the complex behavioural alterations induced by\u00a0prefrontal leucotomy, for which the degree of Master of Science was awarded in 1960. Working as a medical officer, he saw a clinical discipline that would unite psychological depth with neurology.\u00a0Walsh taught a syndrome-oriented approach to neuropsychology, informed by an understanding of neuroanatomy, neurological and neuropsychological syndromes and\u00a0psychometrics. He taught his students to listen to and observe the patient, talk to the family and to think logically, describing neuropsychology as ‘a body-contact sport.\u00a0Walsh collaborated with his friend Peter Bladin, director of neurology at the\u00a0Austin Hospital, Melbourne, to establish a postgraduate training program in Clinical Neuropsychology at the university and a Clinical Neuropsychology Unit at the hospital.\u00a0One of his most influential works was\u00a0Neuropsychology: A Clinical Approach<\/i>, first published in 1978, intending it to be an introduction to the field. The book was published with David Darby in 1999, then published as Walsh’s Neuropsychology in 2005.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Twenty years ago, the scarcity of neuropsychological instruments for children led Marit Korkman, a pediatric neuropsychologist from Finland, to develop NEPS (Korkman, 1980), a brief assessment for children 5.0 to 6.11 years old. Various aspects of attention, language, sensorimotor functions, visuospatial functions, and memory and learning were each assessed with two to five tasks similar in content to the tasks in Luria\u2019s assessment (Christensen, 1975).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

She was a postdoctoral fellow in Neuroscience at Harvard University, and has taught at Clark University, Tufts University School of Medicine, Suffolk University, and the University of Melbourne in Australia. Her permanent teaching and research home since 1970 has been CAMED. She has worked to advance our understanding of brain mechanisms underlying the perceptual, emotional, and cognitive impairments associated with human brain damage. Since 1987, Dr. Berman has been using neurobehavioral tests and neuroimaging measures to examine dysfunction related to chronic Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). Currently, Dr. Berman\u2019s laboratory is examining the ways in which men and women differ with respect to AUD-related abnormalities in brain circuits that control emotion, motivation, and behavioral regulation.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Ennio De Renzi pioneered the development of neuropsychology as a scientific discipline in Italy. Born in Cremona, Italy, he graduated in medicine at Pavia University with a thesis in neurology. He carried out his early work on hemispheric specialization, in patients with unilateral brain lesions, and made fundamental contributions to understanding the nature of virtually every neurological condition that affects higher functions\u2014namely, aphasia, apraxia, agnosia, amnesia, disorders of spatial cognition, and frontal lobe syndromes. He founded the international journal Cortex<\/em> and served as an editor for more than 25 years. He received the Carlo Riquier award for neurological studies.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Kenneth M. Heilman, M.D., a founder of the field of behavioral neurology impacted generations of young neurologists worldwide and served the University of Florida College of Medicine for over 50 years.\u00a0 Behavioral neurology is a subspecialty focused on memory and cognitive disorders, and under Heilman\u2019s leadership, UF developed one of the earliest fellowship programs in the field. To date, nearly 100 trainees have completed\u00a0UF\u2019s fellowship program and then spread across the world to practice and pass on the lessons to up-and-coming physicians. He was a researcher in disorders involving attention, emotion, motor programming, language, and memory.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Dr. Mirsky was involved in multiple neuropsychological studies going on at the Yale Psychology Department and Medical School.\u00a0 In studying WWII veterans with brain injuries, Dr. Mirsky helped to create the Continuous Performance Test (CPT), which remains the standard method to assess sustained attention. Allan was then recruited to the National Institute of Mental Health, where he continued to pursue a lifelong interest in the neural bases and behavioral effects of seizure disorders. After eight years, he moved to Boston University as Professor of Psychiatry, Psychology, and Neurology. In his 19 years there, he continued his research on epilepsy and other attention disorders. He then returned to the National Institute of Mental Health as Chief of the Laboratory of Psychology and Psychopathology.<\/span> In his 70-year career, Allan made major contributions to studies of attention in numerous clinical disorders. He is particularly well known in the field for his emphasis on brainstem structures and their role in attention, and for partitioning attention into five distinct processes, with each measured by different tests and supported by different brain structures. This model provides a taxonomy of attention that is now standard in the field of neuropsychology.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Sara S. Sparrow was a renowned psychologist who developed the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, including its second and third editions. The Vineland has since become the world\u2019s leading measure of adaptive behavior. Dr. Sparrow graduated from the University of Florida with a master\u2019s degree in Speech Pathology and a doctorate in Clinical Psychology and Neuropsychology. From 1975 to 2002, Dr. Sparrow was the Chief of Psychology at the Yale Child Study Center, Yale University School of Medicine. She would remain at Yale as Professor Emerita and Senior Research Scientist until her passing in 2010. Dr. Sparrow also held a professorship in the Department of Psychology at the University of Windsor, in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. She is the author of more than 120 articles and book chapters in the fields of psychological assessment and developmental disabilities, and she is also co-editor (along with Drs. Ami Klin and Fred Volkmar) of a book on Asperger syndrome.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Elizabeth Warrington is a neuropsychologist who studies memory, dementia and the neural networks that underpin our cognitive abilities. Her work has led to the creation of many tests for the diagnosis and monitoring of a number of degenerative brain conditions. Her work on memory \u2014 and the difference between how we remember knowledge and events \u2014 led to the identification of\u00a0semantic dementia in 1975. In addition, her research into memory has contributed to the identification of implicit memory \u2014 the unconscious memory of past experiences, which helps us to perform tasks. Elizabeth was also amongst the first to distinguish short- and long-term memory as being distinct processes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
