If your presentation is accepted, you will receive $350 upon completion of the your live webinar presentation.   Meet March's Professional of the Month: Dr. Kevin McGrew Dr. Kevin McGrew, the Time Doc, is a member of the IM scientific advisory board and a strong advocate for the importance of better neural timing. In addition to co-authoring the fourth edition of the Woodcock-Johnson battery (WJ IV), he is the Director of the Institute for Applied Psychometrics (IAP), the Research Director for the Woodcock-Muñoz Foundation (WMF) and a visiting professor in Educational Psychology at the University of Minnesota, where he received his doctoral degree in the same field. Dr. McGrew clearly understands how to use his time wisely. After spending 12 years as a school psychologist, and another 10 as a professor of Applied Psychology, Dr. McGrew switched his focus to research. He has published over 70 articles, books and book chapters in his areas of expertise and maintains IQ's Corner blog and the Mindhub®. Look for Dr. McGrew in our upcoming IM demo video where he explains the importance of getting your brain and body in sync.     Read more in our blog...   ›     Friendly Fire: A Look at Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, unpredictable condition that can rob individuals of their ability to live a normal, healthy life. Since lesions and plaque scars appear on multiple areas of brain matter, the severity and symptoms vary drastically. While some people my live a full, happy life with very few interruptions, others have their life cut short by a malignantly progressive form of the disease. With IM, you don't just adapt to MS, you can slow the progression and actually regain functional mobility. Today, we look at some of the symptoms of MS, treatment options, and the success of Margaret, a MS sufferer who uses IM to stay mobile and active.     Read more in our blog...   ›   IM-Home Tips and Motivational Strategies In case you missed our free webinar in January, we wanted to share some of the great tips for using Interactive Metronome® (IM) at home.

It will have emphasis on the effects of IM training on the performance of a number of soccer-specific skills (cross-pass, shot for goal and heading), but will also address some of the customized IM-exercises used, and the reasoning behind the choice of these specific exercises. Moreover, the webinar will include some preliminary analyses of brain activation patterns (fMRI) before and after IM training. Here, we have investigated if the internal / cognitive representations of an observed action may change as an effect of IM training.

Hall v Florida SCOTUS transcript from today

Here is today's transcript for the oral arguements and questioning before the US Supreme Court (SCOTUS) re the Hall v Florida Atkins case. To someone who has worked his entire career in intelligence testing, it is very interesting to hear the justices talk about IQ, SEM, etc.

Amicus briefs from APA and AAIDD (and others) have been posted previously at this blog. Prior decisions regarding Hall v Florida are available in the blogroll under Atkins decisions
