Going to the doctor with concerns about memory problems, but finding out it’s not dementia? Join us on Wednesday May 18th from 12-1pm to learn from Dr. Noah Silverberg’s research on how lapses in memory aren’t always diagnosed as dementia and what research findings show about these cognitive symptoms.

Speaker

Dr. Noah Silverberg

Dr. Silverberg completed his PhD in Clinical Psychology (Clinical Neuropsychology specialty track) from the University of Windsor and a clinical internship at the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority Consortium. Before joining the UBC Department of Psychology in 2020, Dr. Silverberg worked as a staff psychologist at British Columbia’s tertiary rehabilitation hospital (GF Strong Rehab Centre) for over 10 years, where he also led an interdisciplinary brain injury research program as a clinician-scientist. Dr. Silverberg is interested in psychosocial determinants of health in neurological disorders, particularly concussion and traumatic brain injury. His research program aims to better understand the psychological mechanisms (e.g., maladaptive thinking and coping styles) that perpetuate symptoms after concussion and related health conditions. Dr. Silverberg uses these insights to develop and evaluate novel treatments. His other research interests include neuropsychological assessment methods, cognitive rehabilitation, metacognition, functional neurological disorder, and implementation science.
