Dr. Lonser’s interests are in child and adult neuropsychological evaluation and intervention with individuals diagnosed medical and psychiatric disorders. Previous research focused on the neuro-physiology and behavior in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) using auditory evoked potentials, brain SPECT, and behavioral measures. Other research examined the cognitive sequelae of treatment, surgical and pharmacological and the influence of cognitive status and ethnicity on the estimation of premorbid status in dementia.
