John W. DenBoer is a clinical neuropsychologist and researcher based in the United States. His academic and clinical focus encompasses the evaluation of dementia, sports-related concussion, and the validity of neuropsychological testing.[1] He has held academic appointments at institutions such as Boston University School of Medicine and Harvard University Medical School.
Education
[edit | edit source]DenBoer obtained his Doctorate (Ph.D.) in Clinical Psychology from the University of Montana. Following his graduate studies, he undertook an internship at VA Boston Healthcare. He subsequently completed postdoctoral fellowship training in neuropsychology at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, Arizona.[2]
Research and clinical work
[edit | edit source]A significant portion of DenBoer's research has addressed symptom validity and the detection of malingering in medical settings. Notably, a 2007 study published in The Clinical Neuropsychologist, co-authored with Stuart Hall, investigated the performance of individuals coached to simulate brain injuries versus those who were uncoached, specifically utilizing the Test of Memory Malingering (TOMM).[1] This work has been cited in subsequent studies regarding performance validity models, including the Erdodi Index.[3]
DenBoer has also contributed to the literature regarding the intersection of disability and human sexuality.[4] In recent years, his work has expanded to include cognitive intervention strategies for early-stage dementia.[5]
