Board Certified Neuropsychologist / Deborah Budding is a board certified neuropsychologist practicing in Manhattan Beach who works with children, adolescents, and adults. She has a background in literature and magazine publishing prior to earning a Ph.D. in psychology. She is co-author of “Subcortical Structures and Cognition: Implications for Neuropsychological Assessment,” which was published in 2008, as well as multiple book chapters and peer-reviewed articles. She co-authored a consensus paper about the cerebellum’s role in both movement and cognition, which was published in 2013. She has a strong interest in neuroscience, art, and video games, not necessarily in that order. Along with colleagues Dana Chidekel, Ph.D., and Jayme Jones, Ph.D., Dr. Budding provides training and education for professionals and parents through Theory in Practice, Inc. She is a training faculty member at Harbor UCLA. She has particular interest in the cerebellum’s contributions to non-motor function, in brain-behavior relationships in neurodevelopmental disorders, and in finding ways to amplify the voices of women and people of color in science education.
Deborah Budding, PhD
The cerebellum has historically been known for its influence on sensory-motor mapping. Increasingly, research shows important non-motor functions of the cerebellum that are essential to coordinating not only sensory-motor functions, but affective and cognitive functions as well. The rate, rhythm and force of sensory-motor activities develop in parallel with these qualitative aspects of thinking and feeling. This research will be translated into a practical understanding of how “automatic/habitual” behaviors and “controlled/deliberate” behaviors can be used for understanding individual differences and treatment approaches across multiple areas of function.
