Early History
His interest in Neuropsychology was evident during studies at the State University of New York at Albany. There he received a B.A. (Magna cum Laude) in Psychology and an M.S. in Psychological Research and Psychometrics. As a Parachek-Frazier Research Fellow, he was awarded a Ph.D. in school/child clinical psychology in 1978 by Arizona State University. His neuropsychological internship was at the Arizona Neuropsychiatric Hospital and postdoctoral training at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Since that time, Professor Dean has been an active scholar in Neuropsychology and has held faculty appointments at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Distinguished Visiting Faculty of the NIMH Staff College, and Ball State University. Early on, Dean(1985a) stressed, the utility of neuropsychological assessment as a tool in the diagnoses and localization of brain damage. Yet he argued for the of need for specificity of functions measured by these tests (e.g. memory).

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or history:
“As I went forth early on a still and frosty morning, the trees looked like airy creatures of darkness caught napping; on this side huddled together, with their gray hairs streaming, in a secluded valley which the sun had not penetrated; on that, hurrying off in Indian file along some watercourse, while the shrubs and grasses, like elves and fairies of the night, sought to hide their diminished heads in the snow.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The custard is setting; meanwhile
I not only have my own history to worry about
But am forced to fret over insufficient details related to large
Unfinished concepts that can never bring themselves to the point
Of being, with or without my help, if any were forthcoming.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
