Understanding Cross-Cultural Neuropsychology by Alberto Fernndez

Understanding Cross-Cultural Neuropsychology by Alberto Fernndez

This book thoroughly examines the meaning of culture in the context of neuropsychology, focusing on the fundamental neuroscience underlying how different aspects of culture influence neuropsychological test performance, and how that is related to brain functioning.

Alberto Luis Fernández is the Head of the Research Department at the Catholic University of Córdoba in Argentina, where he also teaches neuropsychology and psychometrics. He has worked in cross-cultural neuropsychological test adaptation and development and published several articles on the topic and is currently developing a cross-cultural test (The Multicultural Neuropsychological Scale) whose preliminary results have been published. He has been in collaboration with Dr. Jonathan Evans for the last three years in different projects on the topic, among them the organization of a workshop in Chile and the presentation of a course in the INS meeting in Washington in 2018.

Jonathan Evans moved in 1991 to work at the MRC Applied Psychology Unit (now MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit) in Cambridge. In 1996 he became the founding Clinical Director of the Oliver Zangwill Centre for Neuropsychological Rehabilitation in Ely. In October 2003 he moved to his current position at the University of Glasgow, where he is Professor of Clinical Neuropsychology and Program Director for the MSc in Clinical Neuropsychology.
