Rasch analysis. A form of item response theory in which performance of each individual is examined rather than the total test score to evaluate a scales unidimensionality, and thus, whether a simple summation of scores is a valid technique to characterize an individual's response. If a scale is multidimensional, simple summation of scores may lead to misleading inferences. Rasch analysis is based on probability models in which an item response depends on both an individual's ability (or characteristics) and item difficulty, and is one approach to empirically establish valid short forms. Rasch analysis was developed and initially applied to reading skills in 1952 [Georg Rasch, Danish statistician, 1901-1980].

*The INS Cultural SIG Normative Data Workgroup is proud to announce an
exciting new cultural neuropsychology endeavor called the Data Atlas To
Address (DATABank), and we are seeking dedicated individuals to join our
team and help us bring this initiative to life beginning in Fall 2024.About
the DATABank InitiativeThe field of neuropsychology urgently needs
culturally sensitive data to improve the equity and accuracy of
neuropsychological services. Recent issues such as the FDA approval of
Aducanumab (Aduhelm) and the NFL concussion settlements highlight the
disservice caused by neglecting socio-cultural factors. Current normative
data often favor high school-educated white populations, neglecting the
diverse cultural backgrounds of the patients we serve. The Relevance 2050
Initiative predicts that the majority of patients will be multilingual
and/or non-English speaking by 2050, further emphasizing the need for
culturally informed normative data.Purpose of the DATABankOur goal is to
compile the DATABank, which will serve as a global repository of
neuropsychological norms. This centralized database will provide
psychometrically sound, culturally sensitive normative data, inclusive of
various cultures worldwide. It will offer detailed information about
cognitive domains assessed, as well as relevant cultural factors such as
socioeconomic status, age, ethnicity, race, language, immigration/refugee
status, and gender identity.Join UsWe invite you to join this
groundbreaking project. If you are passionate about increasing access to
culturally appropriate normative data and advancing the field of
neuropsychology, please consider joining our team. Your participation will
be invaluable in fostering international collaboration and enhancing
cultural competency within the field.To express your interest, please fill
out the attached survey .Thank you for
considering this opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the field of
neuropsychology. We look forward to your participation in the DATABank

Akinetopsia (motion blindness). The inability to perceive motion despite intact object perception. The pure disorder is considered extremely rare and may be associated with damage to lateral occipitoparietal structures. Transitory akinetopsia can be induced by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to area V5, thought to be essential for perception of coherent motion. Affected individuals perceive flowing liquids as frozen, and moving objects appear to them to leap unpredictably from one location to another. Akinetopsia is associated with bilateral visual association cortex lesions involving posterior portions of the inferior temporal gyrus. Akinetopsia has also been described in posterior cortical atrophy and visual variant Alzheimer disease (Greek a-, without; kinesiss motion; oran, to see).

You know, Derek, that is a very good point. And, in the matter of this specific case, all of the tests that are truly at issue are Pearson tests. They should be using their legal and financial power to develop a prototype brief or, conversely, develop enough alternate test items that it moots the issue of making the items available for public consumption. I am primarily concerned with staying within the ethical guidelines. And, while I believe that a court order could compel me to produce the data to the lawyer, I just find it smarmy and unjustified. Thank you for your input.
MC]]>
The retaining attorney understands my objections and wishes to protect me from being in a vulnerable position. However, I do not know if he has dealt with this before. I am also concerned about whomever might be eventually retained as a neuropsychologist expert on the defense who has not objected to this order. If I were on that side of this or any case, I would be. Who would want to put a colleague in this position?
Mitch]]>
I don't find any protections for psychological test materials in Rhode
Island law, rather there seems to be an assumption that attorneys can
access them. However, the fall-back position is that you can ask the court
to file a protective order limiting how the materials can be used, copied,
and distributed, which courts tend to accept better than a block.
My real question around this is, why are we sticking our necks out?
Pearson and its colleagues own the property, why aren't they in court
defending their copyrights and trade secrets? Frankly, the more Pearson is
willing to leave us to fight on our own, the more I'm inclined to decide
not to work any harder than they do. M2CW.

I am a Massachusetts neuropsychologist, working as an expert witness for a Mass client who is bringing a civil suit against an entity in Rhode Island where her personal injury occurred. She is represented by a Rhode Island attorney. Defense counsel requested raw data be sent to them. I refused, informing plaintiff counsel why this was a violation of ethical and copyright rules. I offered to send raw data to a psychologist named by the defense. After a hearing on this issue (which I was not informed was taking place, let alone attend), the court in RI ordered me to produce the raw data to the attorney. I am opposing this, have provided the plaintiff attorney with the relevant position papers by Boone (2022 and 2024) and Kaufman, as well as an affidavit supporting my opposition.
I know that this issue has come up in other jurisdictions because I have seen it posted on this listserv before. In the past, the attorneys with whom I was working have always been able to reach an amicable agreement and a direct sharing with the NP expert on the other side. But this does not look so friendly. Question: Is there an amicus brief by AACN or NAN on this issue? Does either organization have an interest in preparing one?

Dear People:
From what you have read from me so far, you might reasonably ask why Carville, a plantation on the Mississippi River, could have been chosen as the place to be called the Louisiana Leper Home.Most of theleprosypatients in New Orleans at that time were confined to certain sections of town, some living in what were called “pest houses.” An enterprising reporter for the local paper found their living conditions deplorable. After reading the accounts, the local populace agreed that something needed to be done to help these unfortunate people, but the question was “where?” They certainly didn’t wantleprosyin their own neighborhoods. Courageous doctors and city leaders proposed parts of the city where they could be cared for, only to be rebuked by the residents. No place seemed suitable, and the debate continued to rage, driven by real concern for the patients’ welfare and the panicky fear of contagion.
The stalemate seemed to end when Carville was proposed as the site. It had the advantage of being out of the way, 70 miles from New Orleans, but the advantages seemed to end there. The site was covered by mud and infested with mosquitoes. Vermin of all kinds roamed the property, including the former slave cabins where the patients would be expected to live. The once graceful plantation house was in poor condition and there were recurrent river floods and malaria outbreaks. Furthermore, it was rural without access to modern conveniences and there was almost no local medical care. The plan was to bring nurses to live in the big house to care for the patients, and to employ the services of a doctor who would visit periodically.So after many discussions (often heated) by state officials and crusading doctors, it was finally decided that Carville, located at Point Clear on an oxbow bend of the Mississippi River, would become the site of the new Louisiana Leper Home.
Local residents were kept in the dark about its real purpose, instead being told that it would be the site of an ostrich farm. Iberville parish residents would be militantly opposed when they learned the truth.So under cover of a misty New Orleans night, sevenleprosypatients were loaded on a barge and pulled upriver by a tugboat 70 miles to their new home. After being unloaded at Point Clear, they made their way to the slave cabins where they would live.
Soon four Catholic nuns made their appearance, at times accompanied by a priest who later became a permanent resident. The nuns were to use the plantation house for their own quarters and as offices and at times, as a hospital. But they faced a daunting task. They had to clean up the mud, fix the leaky roof, push out the animals and vegetation inside the house, and repair the roads all the while trying to care for their patients. But they were strong and remarkably resilient, eventually accomplishing almost everything they had set out to do. This was their mission, to be carried out by scores of nurses over many years. Some of the nurses became famous, others notorious. When I arrived at Carville three quarters of a century later, they were still there in their impressive flared white caps, now as employees of the Federal Government. I’ll tell you more about these Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul in a subsequentLeprosyLetter.
Well goodbye for now, folks.

Last Call for Student Member Applications (Current doctoral students and
interns are encouraged to apply!) DUE this Friday!
The Society for Clinical Neuropsychology (SCN) Public Interest Advisory
Committee (PIAC) Diversity Subcommittee has a number of leadership
opportunities for students and SCN members. The PIAC Diversity Subcommittee
is an integral part of PIACs mission, as it promotes the elevation of
historically marginalized populations into the fabric of neuropsychological
practice, research, teaching, and training in order to provide
neuropsychologists with the knowledge and resources to better understand
and serve an increasingly diverse U.S. population. Similarly, the Diversity
Subcommittee aims to reduce the historic inequities present in the field of
neuropsychology.
The SCN PIAC Diversity Subcommittee works to enhance scientific
understanding and training to professional aspects pertaining to culture,
class, gender, sexual orientation, age, physical and cognitive
disabilities, mental health and discrimination (in the context of
intersectionality with race and ethnicity), and to support improving
educational training opportunities for all. Given that SCN has an Ethnic
Minority Affairs Committee (EMA), this committee will focus on diversity
concerns beyond race and ethnicity, which falls within EMAs scope though
collaboration with EMA may occur on an as needed basis.

Hello, Everybody:
I am posting on behalf of a colleague who is not on this listserve. She is
seeking a neuropsychologist with initial referral information as follows:
The patient is s 59 yo white male. He is a 28 year Air Force Veteran who
was deployed in Iraq in 2006 and sustained multiple TBIs related to terror
attacks he was involved in.
Previously diagnosed PTSD (which also may need to be re-evaluated). Is a
currently practicing attorney (in Ohio) but continues to experience some
cognitive deficits which are believed to be related to his TBIs.
As is par with the military, he did not receive proper care or evaluation
following these events likely as an attempt to avoid being medically
discharged.
Anthem BCBS (of Virginia). In the Santa Rosa/Escambia county area (Okaloosa
county likely ok too).
Looking for in-depth neuropsych testing to look into possible cognitive
deficits related to his TBI that would be abnormal for someone of his
education and skill level (per his psychiatrist)
If anyone has contact information I can share that would be of assistance
please respond to this email or contact Dr. Chelsea Marien at the following
email cmarien@teamcenturion.com

Good Morning,
I feel like this has come up before so apologies if I'm reinventing the
wheel. But has anyone on here used the MOXO over the CPT for non-ADHD cases
in adults? I like that it does not require a USB drive and can be used on a
Mac and possibly even a iPad but it seems primarily geared towards ADHD and
kids but then again, so does the CPT technically. I'm having a little
trouble pulling the norms out from the website
Thank you,

Lateral medullary syndrome (Wallenberg syndrome). A relatively common constellation of symptoms usually due to thrombosis of the vertebral artery (less often the posterior inferior cerebellar artery) which causes infarction in the lateral medulla. Symptoms most commonly include: 1) ipsilateral ataxia due to infarction of the inferior cerebellar peduncle, 2) vertigo, nystagmus, nausea due to infarction of the vestibular nuclei, 3) contralateral body loss of pain and temperature sensation caused by infarction of the spinothalamic tract, 4) ipsilateral loss of pain and temperature on the face due to infarction of the trigeminal nucleus and tract, and 5) ipsilateral Horner syndrome secondary to infarction of the descending sympathetic fibers [Adolf Wallenberg, German neurologist, 1862-1949].

Dear Colleagues,
I apologize for cross-posting and for those who live in CA who have already
received this information directly from me; however, I think it is time to
update our colleagues nationwide on our state's success and continued
trials.
We have surpassed 90% support of the Collective Statement among ABPP-CN
members and 80% of ABN members. This includes a handful from whom I am
pending actual signatures (please feel free to nudge your CA colleagues).
If you have not been following the court decisions in California, there was
a particularly damaging court ruling at the appellate level that has been
mis-interpreted by some as a "mandate" to release raw test data directly to
attorneys. They ultimately concluded that it was left to the discretion of
the lower trial court judges to rule on discovery issues, including the
release of raw test data. In their ruling, the court noted that an
inadequate survey had been conducted at the local level of
neuropsychologists who would or would not be willing to release raw test
data. This was the motivation behind the collective statement. I attempted
to upload the collective statement as well as my affidavit, but it appears
to have exceeded the allowed size limit. I am more than happy to share
this, however.
I am also happy to report two court decisions in different CA geographic
regions favoring test security, citing the collective statement as
evidence. This confirms that this issue will be hashed out at the trial
court level with wide discretion on discovery rulings. We now also have an
additional reference to cite when facing the argument that attorney's
require raw data to formulate a more than cursory understanding of testing
(see Boone et al. 2024).
However, our work remains unfinished. I have also become aware of a
minority segment of the plaintiff's bar that appears determined to
undermine our entire field. I have attended continuing legal education
seminars in which, in addition to a treasure trove of resources for
attendees including links to the dark web where test content could be
downloaded, a road-map for undercutting IMEs was laid out that included the
guidance to
1) not get a plaintiff's IME neuropsych eval lest the results be used
against one's case
2) demanding all raw data, recordings, and manuals, etc
3) take the tests as attorneys (with the provision of individuals who are
willing to test attorneys without clinical basis)
4) present specific item content to the jury as a ludicrous method by which
to judge patient's symptoms
I refuse to believe this behavior represents the majority of the
plaintiff's bar as its effect will only ultimately damage cases in which
legitimate injuries need adjudication. It is critical that we not see this
as an issue of defense versus plaintiff's attorneys despite the fact that
defense attorneys are currently the ones most supportive of test security
(they do, in fact, switch sides and law firms).
Regardless of the impetus of the crisis we now face regarding test
security, our value to the trier of fact rests on our methods, our science
and our objectivity. I firmly believe we must come together to stand united
regardless of who has hired us. We should also not be misled into thinking
this is not a political issue. The plaintiff's bar is an extremely powerful
lobbying group and promoting legislation to protect test security will
likely require convincing this bar that the field of neuropsychology is, in
fact, a neutral, scientific field and not inherently anti-plaintiff.
For those of you who want more frequent updates and live in CA, I suggest
you join CPA division viii ( www.cpapsych.org/) and sign up to be
part of the test security committee (you do not need to be a board member
to be involved). For those of you who are not involved in forensic work, I
appreciate your ongoing willingness to read my updates and very much
appreciate you taking the time out of your busy clinic and personal
schedules to help protect the entire field. I am now tracking court
decisions post-Randy's so please send me any updates regarding your use of
the statement (positive or negative). As a reminder, you are free to use it
in any case in which you are protecting test security.
I look forward to seeing many of you in-person at AACN where we can
continue conversations on advancing test security. I will definitely be
attending Drs. Boone and Kaufman's update about test security nationwide as
well as the reception dinner. I want to also thank all of you who have
reached out with concerns or questions. It continues to be a privilege to
learn about the varied and amazing work of my colleagues! For those of you
facing similar battles in other states, I would be happy to share my
experiences in case that may assist others. If you have previously
contacted me and I inadvertently missed your email, please feel free to
reach out again, I assure you it was not intentional. Please feel free to
forward this on or post on other listservs. We welcome all CA signers,
regardless of board certification status. I will note that after the most
recent oral exams, only one person from CA had not previously signed
pre-board certification!

Hello Stephen! Long time. Hope all is well. =F0=9F=98=8A
I agree to what you said, if you will allow me to piggyback=A6 Nancy, bear in mind that of the patient wants the report bad enough, and they get a lawyer, and they subpoena you and you refuse, but they then go to the Court, they will likely get a Court Order requiring you to release your report. So always be prepared to release it. This is a still legal grey area in terms of whether under HIPAA you are or are not required to release a FFD eval report. You should also check with your State laws.
My default when I get a patient request for a FFD report, and most of the time the payor is the Client, is to let the patient know they need to contact the Client directly to request the report, and I then immediately inform the Client that the patient is requesting the report and I request that they or their lawyers please deal with it. This works out fine 99% of the time and I never hear back again. Sometimes the Client will say, We dont care, handle it however you want to handle it; they dont care and leave it up to me in which case I will initially deny the request, but if they come back with a lawyers ROI request and/or a subpoena, I get ready to send it depending on my conversation with the lawyer.
All reports I write are written under the assumption that the patient may ultimately get access to it.
Best wishes.
