Background and Biography:
Dr. Moore completed her undergraduate degree in Psychology at Duke University and went on to earn a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the UC San Diego /SDSU Joint Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology. Her internship and fellowship in Neuropsychology were completed at the University of Florida where she remained on faculty for several years. Dr. Moore then moved to Emory University with an appointment as an Assistant Professor of Rehabilitation Medicine; she also holds an appointment as a Research Clinical Neuropsychologist at the Atlanta VAMC where she engages in research and clinical care of veterans. As a clinical neuropsychologist, she is interested in brain-behavior relationships in a very broad sense. Her research efforts focus on understanding the neural substrates of memory, attention, and language. Dr. Moore studies changes in these brain functions that occur over the course of healthy aging and as the result of brain insults such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, and dementia. Understanding the brain systems responsible for both healthy and impaired functions increases our ability to develop and implement strategies to rehabilitate or compensate for these changes. Standardized neuropsychological tests as well as neuroimaging techniques are important tools that she regularly employs in her research. In her clinical practice, Dr. Moore works with people living with epilepsy, stroke, dementia, traumatic brain injuries, tumors, and other disorders affecting the central nervous system. She conducts neuropsychological evaluations of cognitive and psychosocial strengths and weaknesses, and helps patients, families, and other healthcare providers understand, manage, and respond to changes in brain function.
