Allison Lake

Dr. Allison Lake is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the University of Michigan Medical School, specializing in Rehabilitation Psychology-Neuropsychology. Her clinical work centers on neuropsychological assessment and psychological adjustment within rehabilitation populations, with specific interests in training methodologies and diversity initiatives.

Education:

• Postdoctoral Fellowship (APPCN) in Adult Clinical Neuropsychology, Indiana University School of Medicine, Psychiatry (2020)
• PhD in Clinical Science with minor in Cognition & Neuroscience, Indiana University Bloomington
• APA-accredited Clinical Internship, VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System

Dr. Lake's research employs cognitive neuroscience frameworks to investigate externalizing psychopathology, emotion regulation mechanisms, and visual perception processes. Her work integrates clinical neuropsychology with neuroscientific approaches, particularly examining neural correlates of behavioral patterns in addiction and personality disorders. Recent publications demonstrate methodological diversity including fMRI, MRS, and behavioral paradigms.

Analysis of her 2018-2024 publications reveals persistent focus on the neural underpinnings of externalizing disorders, with evolving emphasis on diversity considerations in clinical assessment. Her work consistently bridges addiction neuroscience (alcohol use disorder, antisocial personality) with cognitive processes like attentional bias and emotion regulation, while her 2022-2024 publications increasingly address diversity implementation in training clinics.

Dr. Lake is available to mentor students and serves as a Center Member for the Center for History, Humanities, Arts, Social Sciences and Ethics in Medicine. Her research program demonstrates integration of clinical practice with cognitive neuroscience, though specific grant funding details are not provided in available materials.
