Denise Krch, PhD
About
Dr. Denise Krch is a neuropsychologist whose research and clinical work focus on traumatic brain injury, cognitive rehabilitation, and neuropsychological assessment. Her published work, spanning 39 peer-reviewed studies, addresses outcomes across the TBI recovery spectrum, including the influence of race, ethnicity, and sex on societal participation, the relationships among pain, physical health, and mental health in the year following injury, and the role of cardiorespiratory fitness in working memory. Her research has appeared in journals including the Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation, Journal of Clinical and Experimental Neuropsychology, and NeuroRehabilitation.
A recurring theme in her work is broadening the empirical foundation for neuropsychological practice with Spanish-speaking populations. She has contributed normative data for Spanish-speaking adults in the United States on several widely used cognitive measures, including the WHO-UCLA Auditory Verbal Learning Test and a battery of executive function instruments, as well as a preliminary examination of performance validity testing in that population.
Her publications draw on large collaborative data sets, including the TRACK-TBI study and NIDILRR Model Systems projects, reflecting sustained engagement with multi-site rehabilitation research consortia.
