Explore the cutting edge of cognitive assessment in this thought-provoking edition of the AD/PD™ Live Journal Club. We’re excited to welcome Prof. David Libon, who will present highlights from his latest publication: “Precision Neurocognition: An Emerging Diagnostic Paradigm Leveraging Digital Cognitive Assessment Technology”.
Date: 1 July 2025 
Time: 16:00 CEST
Learning Objectives:
-
Understand how to leverage digital assessment technology to assess for subtle cognitive impairment.
-
Understand that, despite 100% correct responding, the latency to provide a correct response could signal nascent illness.
-
Appreciate the use of digital assessment technology for research and clinical use.

Speaker
David J. Libon, Ph.D
Professor of Geriatrics, Gerontology, and Psychology; Rowan University, New Jerey Institute for Successful Aging
The Libon lab were early pioneers in conducting research regarding neuropsychological syndromes associated with MRI white matter alterations. This research was honored by the National Academy of Neuropsychology with the Nelson Butters Award. In 2013 Dr. Libon and colleagues published an edited volume honoring the life and legacy of Edith Kaplan. In 2015 Dr. Libon was honored by the International Neuropsychological Society with the Paul Satz Teaching Career Mentorship Award for his teaching and mentorship activities. Dr. Libon has recently published a series of papers demonstrating how to use digital assessment technology for research and clinical assessment.
