Sarah A. Raskin, associate dean for faculty development and Charles A. Dana Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience, and Christina Palmese, Ph.D. ’98 were members of the inaugural Fellows of the International Neuropsychological Society. Palmese also presented research, “Motivationally Enhanced Compensatory Cognitive Training for Older Veterans with Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Randomized Controlled Trial.”
Raskin said that another highlight of the conference was a presentation by Elizabeth Gromisch, Ph.D. ’09, “Co-Designing Technology-Based Behavioral Interventions with Patient Stakeholders to Address Multiple Sclerosis-Related Cognitive Changes.”
Trinity neuroscience students Maria Mathew ’26 and Navya Arora ’26 presented a poster, “Development of a Short Form of the Memory for Intentions Test,” while students To Nhu (Junny) Nguyễn ’26 and Halanda Nguyễn ’26 presented the poster, “Prospective Memory Intervention with Individuals with Acquired Brain Injury.”
Jackie Maye, Ph.D. ’08 was unable to attend but was an author on a presented paper titled “Motivationally Enhanced Compensatory Cognitive Training for Older Veterans with Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Randomized Controlled Trial.”
Additionally, Raskin presented a paper—“Sex Differences in Prospective Memory are Impacted by Age”—that included a number of students as co-authors.
Raskin added, “Brian Castelluccio, Ph.D. ’12 and Ginger Mills, Psy.D. ’12, both practicing neuropsychologists, attended the conference and had lunch with the four current seniors to share stories of their trajectories. Both of them created and have been active in a special mentoring program for Trinity students interested in going into neuropsychology and have worked with many of our students over the past five years.”
