Hi Kevin,
ReplyDeleteThanks for announcing our blog to your readers, and posting a link to the always fun gorilla.
I see you have extensive background in psychometric testing (I helped launch a unit for formative assessments at a sister company to Riverside P., and had extensive contact with them).
Have you also been involved in cognitive training programs, paper or computer-based?
