Welcome!
My lab at the University of New Mexico is interested in the role that culture plays in how we think. My graduate students and I are currently investigating such topics as FASD, alcohol use and consequences in ethnic populations; the effects of acculturation in cognitive ability testing; culture-fair neuropsychological testing in older veterans; ethnic experiences of depression and cognition; PTSD and cognition.
Feel free to look around this site to learn more about my teaching and research as well as a little something more about my personal interests.
Prospective Students:
Prosective clincial psychology doctoral students interested in working with Dr. Verney should have an interest in at least one of the following:
- Neuropsychological functioning in FASD children and adolescents
- Cultural issues and cognitive assessment
- Mental health disparities in Hispanic and American Indian populations
- Information processing and psychophysiological measures of cognition
Prospective students can contact Dr. Verney at sverney@unm.edu.
