Edith Kaplan

Edith F. Kaplan (February 16, 1924 – September 3, 2009) was an American psychologist, and a pioneer of neuropsychological tests who did most of her work at the Boston VA Hospital.[1] Kaplan is known for her promotion of clinical neuropsychology as a specialty area in psychology. She examined brain-behavioral relationships in aphasia, apraxia, developmental issues in clinical neuropsychology, as well as normal and abnormal aging. Kaplan helped develop a new method of assessing brain function with neuropsychological assessment, called "The Boston Process Approach."[2]

As a graduate student, Kaplan worked with Heinz Werner, and then collaborated further with Norman Geschwind as well as Harold Goodglass.
