Dr. Theone Paterson

 

Research Interests

As a clinical psychology student, I aspire to better understand healthy aging from a neuropsychological lens. I am particularly interested in older adult populations, and their experiences of dementias, chronic conditions, and neurodegeneration. I am also interested in neurocognitive and psychosocial risk and protective factors of cognitive health in adults generally.
