Seth Sangalang, Lab Manager

Seth Sangalang is a current first-year graduate student in clinical psychology at California

State University, Northridge. His passion for neuropsychology has led him to develop research

projects that have focused on examining how cultural experiences—particularly

acculturation—affect the neuropsychological test performance of culturally diverse peoples.

Specifically, he has undertaken empirically assessing adapted measures of acculturation for

Hispanic/Latinos and establishing normative data for Hispanic/Latino young adults. Using

advanced statistical methods, such as structural equation modeling, Seth strives to provide

neuropsychologists with consistent approaches to measure acculturation, and its impact on

neuropsychological test performance, among culturally diverse groups. In addition, Seth has

hands-on experience administering and scoring neuropsychological assessments in both English

and Spanish, as well as collaborating with community-based Alzheimer's disease studies. He is

passionate about refining neuropsychological assessments to be more inclusive and accurate for

individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds and using advanced psychometric methods for

studying cognitive aging.
