A Call for Shifting from the Western to African Neuropsychology The African Neuropsychology Battery

Research Talk - 11 June 2024 In this talk, I will begin by motivating the need to create an African cognitive assessment battery, by broadly examining shared aspects of African culture that differ from Western culture. I will then introduce and provide an overview of the African Neuropsychological Battery (ANB). I will share results on the reliability and internal consistency of the ANB, and highlight its sensitivity to demographic factors, enculturation, and neuropathologies. In the final part of this talk, I will discuss linking cognitive performance on the ANB to neuroimaging metrics, and its sensitivity to discriminate biomarkers present in neurodegenerative disorders.
