Tania Giovannetti is a Professor at Temple University, affiliated with the College of Liberal Arts and the Psychology and Neuroscience department. She specializes in neuropsychology, focusing on everyday functional deficits in older adults with neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, vascular cognitive impairment, and schizophrenia.
Her research explores the cognitive and neuroimaging profiles underlying task performance errors and error monitoring in dementia and mild cognitive impairment. She collaborates with researchers like Deborah Drabick, David Libon, and Thomas Floyd to expand statistical and clinical insights. She also leads the Cognitive Neuropsychology Laboratory, which emphasizes novel assessment paradigms, collaborative research, and student mentorship.
Recent publications highlight her work on subtle functional deficits in mild cognitive impairment, neuroimaging correlates of everyday action in dementia, and error monitoring in schizophrenia. Her lab's methodological contributions include error-type coding schemes and task training interventions to improve functional outcomes.
She teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in Introduction to Psychology, Clinical Neuropsychology, Intellectual Assessment, and Clinical Area Seminar. Her students, including Seligman, Sestito, Bettcher, and Seidel, contribute to publications and lab research.
The Cognitive Neuropsychology Laboratory at Temple University aims to bridge cognitive neuroscience and geriatric neuropsychology, developing interventions to maintain independence in aging populations. Her work spans clinical populations (dementia, schizophrenia, HIV) and applied settings (environmental adaptations, task training).
