    196 | Hearing Loss and Cognitive Decline – A Conversation With Dr. Jennifer Deal

    This episode features an interview with Dr. Jennifer Deal regarding the complex link between hearing loss and cognitive decline in older adults. Dr. Deal explains several hypotheses for how hearing impairment may cause cognitive decline, including increased cognitive load, structural brain changes, and social isolation. She highlights findings from the ACHIEVE trial, which suggest that while hearing interventions might not help everyone, they appear to slow cognitive decline in high-risk populations. Furthermore, the episode addresses the methodological challenges of testing patients with sensory deficits and advocates for universal accommodations in clinical settings. Ultimately, the episode underscores the importance of treating hearing loss to improve quality of life and potentially preserve long-term brain health.

    194 | Integration of Brain, Mind, and Body – A Conversation With Dr. Mark Edwards

    This podcast interview explores the complex interplay between the brain, mind, and body, emphasizing that physical and mental health are inseparable. The guest and hosts critique the siloed nature of modern healthcare, which often separates neurology from psychiatry and fails to address how social factors influence biological outcomes. They highlight functional neurological disorder (FND) as a primary example of how beliefs and environmental stressors can manifest as real physical symptoms. To move forward, the speakers advocate for the biopsychosocial model, urging clinicians to adopt a more integrated, "team-oriented" approach to patient care. Ultimately, the discussion calls for a systemic shift in medical training and public understanding to fully integrate interventions on the brain, mind, and body.

    191 | Motivational Interviewing Role Play 1

    Today we give you a role play where Dr. Daniel Mullin takes on the part of a neuropsychologist who is engaging in motivational interviewing with a patient who is considering a behavior change. The patient is played by Ryan and the behavior change is whether or not to use a continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP device, as a treatment for sleep apnea. Following the role play is a debriefing where we highlight important aspects of the MI process. We spoke with Dan in our prior episode (#190) about the ins and outs of motivational interviewing, which you could listen to before or after this role play.

    190 | Motivational Interviewing for Neuropsychologists – A Conversation With Dr. Daniel Mullin

    This conversation explores Motivational Interviewing (MI), a clinical communication style designed to help patients resolve ambivalence and find internal motivation for healthy behavior changes. The discussion contrasts MI's collaborative guiding style with the counterproductive "fixing reflex," where providers mistakenly try to pressure or dictate solutions to patients. We outline the four core processes – engaging, focusing, evoking, and planning – while emphasizing the use of OARS skills: open-ended questions, affirmations, reflections, and summaries. A significant portion of the discussion provides practical strategies for neuropsychologists to adapt these techniques for patients with cognitive impairments or during feedback sessions. Ultimately, we highlight how MI is a humanistic approach that respects patient autonomy and aligns recommendations with an individual's personal values.
