SUMMARY:B.R.A.I.N. Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Brain’s Resilience And Intelligence Networks (B.R.A.I.N. lecture) \nVirtual keynote lectures on Cognitive Resilience/Reserve \nThe lecture series focuses on cognitive resilience/reserve\, with a strong emphasis on neuroimaging of structural and functional networks that underlie resilience. The keynote lectures will have a strong conceptual focus\, proposing theories on the brain’s structural and functional underpinnings of cognitive resilience. \nRead more: https://bit.ly/2yZA1nK »

SUMMARY:Methods: Mind the Gap
DESCRIPTION:Webinar Series\nConnections Between Traditional and Causal Mediation Methods\nDavid P. MacKinnon\, Ph.D.\nArizona State University\nregister for the webinar here » \nAbout the Webinar\nThis presentation describes mediation analysis and the connections between traditional mediation analysis and recently developed causal mediation analysis. Mediating variables have a long and important history in theoretical and applied research because they describe how and why two variables are related. One common example of applied mediation research is the study of the mediating processes that explain how a prevention/treatment program achieves its effects on an outcome variable. If the intervention’s active ingredients are identified\, the intervention can be made more powerful and more efficient. Other applied mediation examples include identifying how a risk factor leads to disease and how early life experiences affect later development. Important recent developments in causal mediation analysis include new counterfactual (potential outcomes) methods that generate accurate estimates for continuous and categorical measures. In general\, researchers have been slow to adopt causal mediation methods because of their complexity and the perceived lack of connection between traditional and causal methods. However\, understanding connections between traditional and causal mediation increases understanding of both methods. The background for each approach is described\, along with questions about traditional mediation and potential outcomes that causal mediation perspectives can help answer. The presentation ends with future directions in mediation theory and statistical analysis. \nAbout David P. MacKinnon\nDr. David P. MacKinnon\, Ph.D.\, has been developing\, evaluating\, and applying methods to assess how interventions work for over 30 years. He is a Foundation Professor of Psychology at Arizona State University. He received his undergraduate degree from Harvard University\, and his Ph.D. in measurement and psychometrics from UCLA in 1986. In 2011\, he received the Nan Tobler Award from the Society for Prevention Research for his book on statistical mediation analysis. Dr. MacKinnon has been Principal Investigator on several National Institutes of Health grants. He received the Method to Extend Research in Time (MERIT) Award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse for his research on mediation analysis. He has given numerous workshops in the United States and Europe\, has served on federal grant review committees and as a consulting editor\, and is a Web of Science Highly Cited Researcher. He is a Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science\, Society for Prevention Research\, and American Psychological Association Quantitative and Qualitative Methods Division. He is past president of American Psychological Association Division 5 and is president-elect of the Society of Multivariate Experimental Psychology.
