About our Clinics and Laboratories

Benton Neuropsychology Clinic

The Benton Neuropsychology Clinic is located in the Roy Carver Pavilion of UI Hospitals & Clinics, and is comprised of five examination rooms with extensive assessment instruments, a technicians’ office, two faculty offices, a workroom for students and faculty, a neuropsychological rehabilitation facility, and a reception center and waiting room. Four full-time technicians, as well as rotating practicum students, are available for assistance with assessments. There are private offices for the fellows (or shared with one other fellow).

The Director, Daniel Tranel, is a co-author of the latest (5th edition) of the Lezak book on neuropsychological assessment (Lezak, Howieson, Bigler, & Tranel, 2012). Many neuropsychological tests and experimental procedures that now enjoy widespread clinical utilization have been developed here. Standardized instruments for the analysis of all forms of higher behavior and cognition are available and are routinely used in the clinic. A wide variety of neuropsychological services are provided, ranging from brief consultations that may take no longer than a half hour, to comprehensive evaluations that may take up to 8 hours of test administration. An integrated computer system for neuropsychological data management is in place.

Neuropsychological Rehabilitation Laboratory

The Neuropsychological Rehabilitation Laboratory is dedicated to the development and administration of psychological interventions to facilitate recovery and rehabilitation of cognitive and behavioral impairments and emotional disturbances resulting from brain damage. Interventions and counseling are available to patients with varied neurological conditions and concerns, including sleep disorders, movement disorders, pain management, and cognitive decline. The detailed neuropsychological evaluations conducted in the Benton Clinic are used to guide systematic individualized treatment programs that draw upon findings from cognitive neuroscience, psychotherapy, and educational research. Neurological patients, their families, and their caretakers are provided with training in behavioral compensatory strategies, hierarchically-arranged cognitive retraining programs, and task-specific procedural learning techniques, in order to promote cognitive-behavioral competencies, functional independence, and emotional and physical well-being.
