About the Editors
Cecil R. Reynolds, PhD, ABPN, ABPP, is Professor of Educational Psychology, Professor of
Neuroscience, and a Distinguished Research Scholar at Texas A&M University. His primary
research interests are in all aspects of psychological assessment, with particular emphasis on
assessment of memory, emotional and affective states and traits, and issues of cultural bias in
testing. Dr. Reynolds is the author of more than 300 scholarly publications and author or ed-
itor of 35 books, including The Clinician’s Guide to the Behavior Assessment System for
Children (2002, Guilford Press), Clinical Applications of Continuous Performance Tests
(2001, Wiley), Handbook of School Psychology (1999, Wiley), the Encyclopedia of Special
Education (2000, Wiley), and the Handbook of Clinical Child Neuropsychology (1997,
Plenum Press). He is the author of several widely used tests of personality and behavior, in-
cluding the Behavior Assessment System for Children and the Revised Children’s Manifest
Anxiety Scale. Dr. Reynolds is also senior author of the Reynolds Intellectual Assessment
Scales, the Test of Memory and Learning, the Clinical Assessment Scales for the Elderly, and
the forthcoming Elderly Memory Schedule, as well as coauthor of several computerized test
interpretation systems. He has a clinical practice in Bastrop, Texas, where he treats trauma
victims and individuals with traumatic brain injury.
Randy W. Kamphaus, PhD, is Professor and Head of the Department of Educational Psychol-
ogy at the University of Georgia. A focus on issues related to clinical assessment has led him
to pursue research in classification methods, differential diagnosis, test development, and
learning disability and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) assessment. Dr.
Kamphaus has served as principal investigator, coinvestigator, or consultant on federally
funded research projects dealing with early intervention and prevention, child classification
methods, prevalency of ADHD and conduct disorder in Latin America, and aggression reduc-
tion in schools. As a licensed psychologist and a Fellow of the American Psychological Asso-
ciation (APA), he has contributed extensively to his profession, and he is past president of the
APA’s Division of School Psychology. Dr. Kamphaus has also authored or coauthored five
books, three psychological tests, more than 40 scientific journal articles, and more than 20
book chapters. He also participates in scholarship in the field through work as an editorial
board member, associate editor, test reviewer, and newsletter editor.
