Dr. Elkhonon Goldberg is an exemplary professor.  A great expert in neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience, Dr. Goldberg patiently leads the new student through the intricacies of the brain and its function.  Dr. Goldberg is a true clinician-researcher, with in-depth knowledge of such important areas as the frontal lobes of the brain, hemispheric specialization, and the interaction between cortical-subcortical structures.  He also has a deep understanding of neurological, neuropsychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders.  In addition, Dr. Goldberg was the pupil of Alexander Luria, and to learn from Dr. Goldberg is to step into this historical lineage of knowledge.  I am proud to call Dr. Goldberg my mentor.

Dr. Goldberg is an exceptional neuropsychologist whose courses are both enlightening and transformative. His deep expertise and engaging teaching style make complex materials accessible and fascinating. Dr. Goldberg’s passion for the subject is contagious, inspiring students to delve deeper into the intricacies of the human brain. I highly recommend his classes to anyone eager to expand their understanding of neuropsychology and gain invaluable insights from a leading expert in the field.

Neuropsychologist


As a student of Dr. Goldberg’s, I learned to apply neuroscience to my clinical cases. The knowledge I gained from my study with Dr. Goldberg changed the way I think about my clients’ data, and it has changed my practice. I am a more effective clinician, and I’m in a better position to recommend medical and genetic follow-ups. As a result, my clients have received necessary clinical care and school-based services. I’m so grateful for what I’ve learned, and I underestimated how much it would change my clinical perspective after 10 years of conducting evaluations.

I strongly recommend Dr. Elkhonon Goldberg’s courses to any neuroscientist, whether senior or junior—not only for professional development, but also to gain remarkable intellectual insights into what neuroscience can teach us about the brain. Dr. Goldberg takes you on a scientist’s personal journey that begins in the labs of Alexander Luria and leads to the very latest advancements in neuropsychology. His mentorship offers a unique opportunity for both professional and intellectual stimulation and growth.

Dr. Elkhonon Goldberg’s Neuropsychology and Cognitive Neuroscience lecture series will serve immensely valuable to the training of professionals working within the intersection of neuroscience and psychology. His ability to deliver complex training in a remarkably efficient and digestible manner will offer a range of benefits to psychology professionals, whether by promoting the development of early career neuropsychologists, developing an area of focus for psychologists without prior neuropsychological training, or refining the acumen of practicing clinical neuropsychologists.

He provides remarkable clarity across the vast range of topics that are incorporated in clinical neuropsychology (e.g., cognitive neuroscience, psychometrics, and disease-specific conditions). His mentorship provides both an extensive breadth of knowledge and the necessary depth of content without compromising quality. Beyond his expertise in the scientific and applied practice of neuropsychology, he naturally incorporates methodological principles within the philosophy of science to guide optimal neuropsychological research and practice. His course has offered irreplaceable value to my professional practice within clinical neuropsychology.

I was a postdoctoral student of Dr. Goldberg’s from 2014 to 2016. During that time, and beyond learning the fundamentals of clinical neuropsychology, I gained an appreciation for the ease by which he simplified complicated material, and helped me apply a much wider knowledge base of neurology, neuropsychology, and general sound clinical practices to my clinical and forensic cases at the time. In the years that followed, I routinely sought out clinical supervision from him. Most recently, and in an effort to obtain about 10 CEUs for one of my professional licenses, I completed multiple at-home study courses from his Luria Neuroscience Institute. Once again, and in a very genuine and well thought out manner, he taught me a considerable amount, which I could immediately apply to my clinical/forensic practice. As a field, we are very fortunate to have someone like Dr. Goldberg who can bring a wealth of experience and knowledge while at the same time continuing to push the envelope and think critically about where we are as a science/field and where we are going. I appreciate and respect him immensely and will continue to learn from him through his various programs/workshops. I encourage you to do the same.
