In this unit, you are introduced to the clinical psychology, counseling psychology, and neuropsychology branches of psychology. While these three specialty areas share overlap with goals for clients and the tools they employ in the process of assessment, they each have unique content knowledge and skill they acquired through training and provide differentiated roles and services. Subsequently, the referring concern and the needs of an individual will likely indicate which professional may be best suited to complete the assessment.
In Units 6 through 9, you have studied different applications of tests and measurements in a variety of settings and specialty areas. Regardless of the specialization, it is likely that at some time, a psychologist will have a client with one of the referral concerns including possible neurological problems. In this unit, you read about psychologists using a standard battery to gather information on an individual from a variety of tests and instruments as a means of screening for a neurological deficit. A minimum amount of testing for an adequate neuropsychological screening includes an intelligence test, a personality test, and a perceptual, motor, or memory test.
In this discussion, you will refer to the following case study to answer the questions in Part 1 and Part 2 of this activity.
Andy was referred to you, a psychologist.

Name: Andrew “Andy” Davis.
Age: 6 years, 0 months.
Mother: Emily Davis, single parent.
Sibling: Molly.
Recent changes: Relocation to a smaller house, father abandoned family.
Referral concerns (reported by mother): Frequent intense imaginative play, significantly reduced social interactions, talks to self in his room, destroys toys (for example, rips arms of dolls), falls frequently, and concerns that he fell down stairs (with no open head injury) at the new house (that is, Andy reported falling down and off staircase railing).

Part 1
Based on this referral information, what would be the three tests you would include in a standard battery for screening purposes that include neurological concerns? You may use, as a guide, the same test list that was provided to you in Unit 2. You are allowed to choose tests outside of those on the list. This task will allow you to review tests covered in earlier units of this course, as well as some that are introduced in this unit. However, remember to address a minimum of three recommended areas of assessment for a screening of this type. Be sure to take into consideration age range appropriate for the tests and instruments you select. Then, provide an explanation for using each instrument and how it connects to your working hypothesis on Andy and his mother’s concerns.
Part 2
You complete your evaluation using the three (or more) tests in your standard battery and obtain signs signaling that a more thorough neuropsychological evaluation is recommended. Subsequently, Andy is referred to Dr. Woody Pride, a neuropsychologist. Dr. Pride decides to administer Andy the Brief Neuropsychological Cognitive Examination (BNCE) published by WPS since it can be administered in one sitting and reports that it minimizes reading skills to complete it.
Based on this information from Dr. Pride, and after conducting your own research on this test selection, determine if this is an appropriate test to obtain additional data on Andy regarding neuropsychological concerns. If it is appropriate, then state that and provide your rationale for supporting this as a test selection. If it is not appropriate, then state that and provide your rationale for rejecting this as a test selection. Finally, regardless if you find the BNCE appropriate or not for Andy and the referring concerns, identify a second neuropsychological test that would be highly recommended for its use with Andy (you may select one from the list provided you in Unit 2, or another neuropsychological test battery).
As a test user, identify any AERA standards regarding The Rights and Responsibilities of Test Users, which are implicated in this case study of Andy Davis

Given that the elevation of Rock Creek at the Taft Bridge is 20 ft. above sea level, and its elevation at the point where it enters the Potomac River is at sea level, what is the gradient of Rock Creek between the Taft Bridge and the Potomac River?
a..0017%%
b.0.017%
c.0.17%
d.1.7%
e.17%

4 points  
QUESTION 18

Which of the four landmarks (Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, Washington Monument, U.S. Capitol) is at the lowest elevation and will be the first to be impacted by rising sea levels in the future (the Potomac River is tidal at this location and thus highly influenced by sea level)
a.Lincoln Memorial
b.Jefferson Memorial
c.Washington Monument
d.U.S. Capitol

In your post, describe how you would work with one of the cases providing mediation. Utilizing your course materials and readings from this week, highlight areas of interest that you would explore with the parties in conflict. Include open-ended questions that you would apply to each part within the conflict. As you conceptualize your approach to mediation, be mindful of the stages within the mediation process: Orientation, Issue Definition, Exploring Needs and Interests, Negotiation, and Problem Solving.
University Roommates
 Fred and Tom are roommates. They are constantly quarrelling about sleeping hours, laptop use, Tshirt “borrowing,” and smelly laundry left untidily about the room. Fred complains that Tom’s girlfriend is always there and he has no privacy. The RA advised them to go to you two for mediation.

Researcher X collected data from a group of women over the age of 40.  The focus of his study was on estimating the ‘risk of developing depression after age 40.’  Prior to data collection, the researcher explained that the results of the study would be made available to participants when the study was completed.  He explained that only aggregate data (group data) not individual results, would be available.  Participants signed ‘informed consent’ forms and the study was conducted. Participants completed a number of different questionnaires along with a structured interview.  The researcher’s goal was to determine if he could estimate risk of depression on the basis of a number of different variables including age, marital status, history of depression, physical health, and job satisfaction.  When the study was completed, one of the participants wanted to see her results.  The researcher provided her with aggregate data, as stated at the onset of the study.  The participant insisted on seeing her individual data, claiming that she had a right to know her own personal risk of depression.  The researcher refused, claiming that she had signed the ‘informed consent’ agreement prior to participating and that the procedure was clearly explained to her in advance of the study. Has researcher committed an ethical violation? Explain.
