Laura A. Rabin, Ph.D. is a Professor of Psychology at Brooklyn College and The Graduate
Center of the City University of New York and a Visiting Professor of Neurology at The Albert
Einstein College of Medicine. In her research, Dr. Rabin utilizes neuropsychological tests, self-
and informant-report questionnaires, genetic testing, and neuroimaging. These tools enable her to
investigate cognitive and neurophysiological changes associated with symptomatic prodromal
stages of dementia, toward identification of the earliest markers of dementia risk. An important
aspect of this research is the development and refinement of assessment tools that effectively
distinguish categories along the continuum from normal aging through varying degrees of
cognitive dysfunction. She also studies subtle changes in judgment and problem solving in older
individuals with implications for preventing exploitation, unsafe behaviors, and functional
dependence. Dr. Rabin has an active line of educational research focused on understanding
factors that impact academic performance and mental health and professional outcomes of
diverse students. In addition, she mentors students at all levels of training and maintains a
clinical practice with older adults who present with various cognitive and psychological
disturbances.
