Rate My Professor Jenny Batchelor

Batchelor's academic interests center on neuropsychological assessment and outcomes following traumatic brain injury, with emphasis on litigating samples, medico-legal issues, mild traumatic brain injury, and duration of post-traumatic amnesia as a predictor of recovery. She investigates sports-related concussion, including reliability of neurocognitive measures and outcomes across severities and frequencies; efficacy of cognitive rehabilitation in alcohol and substance use disorders; delirium; and cognitive contributions to risky driving behaviour in young populations. She actively supervises PhD, Masters, Honours, and third-year students on related topics and convenes or lectures in key Master of Clinical Neuropsychology units such as Neuropsychological Disorders, Neuropsychological Practice, Advanced Neuropsychological Assessment II, Developmental Neuropsychology, and Neuropsychological Rehabilitation and Intervention, as well as undergraduate units PSY344 Neuropsychology in Clinical Practice and PSYC499 The Scientist Practitioner Model. Select publications comprise 'Neuropsychological deficits in disordered screen-use behaviours: a systematic review and meta-analysis' (2022), 'Diffusion tensor imaging in sport-related concussion: a systematic review' (2021), and 'Rates of false positive outcomes on the A-WPTAS picture items in a sample of non-concussed athletes' (2021). With 3,297 citations and an h-index of 31, her contributions have advanced clinical neuropsychology and rehabilitation practices. She participates in the Concussion and Repetitive Head Trauma Research Group.
