Raymond S. Dean was an American psychologist and George and Frances Ball Distinguished Professor of Neuropsychology and Professor of Psychology at Ball State University.[1]
Dean received a B.A. (Magna cum laude) in Psychology and an M.S. in Psychological Research and Psychometrics from State University of New York at Albany. As a Paracheck-Frazier Research Fellow, Dean 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, he remained an active scholar in Neuropsychology and held faculty appointments at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Washington University School of Medicine, Distinguished Visiting Faculty of the NIMH Staff College, and Ball State University. From 1985, Dean concluded that the utility of neuropsychological assessment as a tool in the diagnoses and localization of brain damage.[2] He subsequently advocated for the need for specificity of functions measured by these tests (e.g. memory).
