John W. DenBoer is an American sports psychologist and former clinical neuropsychologist who specializes in sports-related concussions[1] and dementia.[2][3][4][5][6] He is the subject of the documentary film This Is Dementia (2019).[7][8]

He went on to finish his postdoctoral training at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, Arizona.[9] He completed an internship at VA Boston Healthcare, and was an associate professor at Harvard University Medical School and Boston University School of Medicine.

Career and research

DenBoer has performed research on the detection of feigned cognitive impairment (malingering) in neuropsychological settings. A 2007 peer-reviewed paper co-authored with Stuart Hall examined how coached and uncoached simulators perform on standard tests and the Test of Memory Malingering (TOMM).[1] It was subsequently cited in Erdodi (2022) and other articles.[10][11]

He has also published various articles on neuropsychology[12] and sexuality, including a 2010 article in Sexuality and Disability on the role of clinical neuropsychology in understanding sexuality and disability.[3]

DenBoer has also worked in geriatric neuropsychology and has been active in public education efforts regarding dementia prevention and cognitive health.[7][8]

In 2017, DenBoer presented a TEDx talk titled "Disrupting Dementia".[13]
