Dr. Benjamin Mast research interests

My research concerns the intersection of clinical geropsychology, rehabilitation psychology, and neuropsychological assessment. More specifically my research is focused upon (1) methodological innovation in clinical research (i.e., application of structural equation model techniques to clinical questions), (2) assessment and detection of late life syndromes (e.g., vascular dementia, Alzheimer’s disease), (3) examination of specific hypotheses concerning the prevalence, expression, and clinical correlates of late life cognitive and mood disorders including post-stroke depression and vascular depression, and (4) development of interventions tailored to match the needs of the specific sub-groups within the geriatric patient population.
