Idalie Beyer is a psychology major and aspiring to hold a Ph.D. in Clinical Neuropsychololgy.   Her career goal is to work at the Veteran's Neuropsychology Rehabilitation Clinic.   

In the summer of 2007, Ms. Beyer was awarded a research internship with the McNair Achievement Program.  The independent research conducted under the supervision of Dr. Paul Rowland was titled:  The Effects of Frontal Lobe Brain Injury on Emotions and Emotion Recognition.  This project allowed Ms. Beyer to conduct an extensive literature review exploring the different emotional impairments patients undergo after an insult to the brain.    At the end of the summer, Ms. Beyer presented the research in a power point presentation which can be seen below. 

In the summer of 2007 Ms. Beyer had the honor to be selected into The University of Arizona's Summer Research Institute.  She had the opportunity to work in the neuropsychology emotion and memory lab under the supervision of Dr. Alfred Kaszniak and Marisa Menchola, MA.  While at The University of Arizona, Ms. Beyer worked on a project titled:  The Effects of Habitual Uses and Voluntary Manipulation of Emotion Regulation on Memory for Emotional Stimuli.  At the end of the 10 week intensive research program she was able to present the study she conducted in a poster presentation and a power point presentation.

Her interests include research in memory and emotions after traumatic brain injuries, neurological disorders among older adults, and rehabilitation of cognitive function for patients after traumatic brain injuries.

Idalie Beyer's family support, multicultural awareness, and bi-cultural background are what have brought her this far in her academics. Growing up as a military dependent and then later becoming an Army spouse has given her opportunities to meet people from different walks of life, live overseas and in various parts of the United States.  Being brought up in a military household has allowed her to become adaptive to any circumstance or challenge that comes her way.
