EPINET PRESENTS:
EPINET Connection LHS CNB feedback workshop with Ruben Gur PhD and Monica Calkins PhD from the University of Pennsylvania for Maryland and Pennsylvania FEP clinicians who will be involved in the Computerized Neurocognitive Battery (CNB) feedback process.
As a reminder, the CNB is composed of tasks assessing major domains of neuropsychological functioning, such as sensorimotor speed, episodic memory, and complex cognition. The CNB captures both accuracy and response time, and employs standardized automated quality assurance and scoring procedures. Although CNB tests are presented as challenging, the platform and tasks offer a “game-like” feel that facilitates engagement and motivation. Importantly, the measures have been well tolerated by children and adults in large-scale studies and in FEP clinics. Four tasks are part of the Core Assessment Battery, though sites will have the opportunity to elect that their participant complete a fuller more comprehensive battery. We are aiming for the battery to be completed around the time of program admission, and at yearly follow-ups thereafter.
All sites will use a centralized scheduling system to schedule a remote CNB for their participants with a trained CLHS assessor. A written feedback report will be provided by UPENN, and local clinical staff will receive the report and be able to provide feedback orally to participants and families. Any clinician (Masters level and above) working with the participant can provide and discuss feedback, including how the results may inform treatment planning and goals.
The workshop will include:
