Biography 
Dr. Filoteo received his Ph.D. from the SDSU/UCSD Joint Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology in 1994. He completed his Psychology Internship at the UCSD Psychology Internship Program in 1994 and then took a position as an Assistant Professor of Psychology and Neurology at the University of Utah. He returned to San Diego in 1999 and is currently an Assistant Professor, In Residence, in the Department of Psychiatry at UCSD and a Staff Psychologist at the VA San Diego Healthcare System.

Research Focus 
Dr. Filoteo’s primary research interests are in the cognitive neurosciences. His work has focused on three broad areas that include: (a) the neurobiological basis of categorization learning, (b) striatal contributions to attentional functioning, and (c) the breakdown of visual attention in specific neurologic and psychiatric patient groups. In studying these various areas, he has used several different methodological approaches including, neuropsychological studies with various patient populations, cognitive studies of normal populations, fMRI studies with normal individuals, single case studies, and mathematical modeling techniques.

Clinical Focus 
Dr. Filoteo’s clinical focus is on the cognitive deficits observed in patients with various neurologic and psychiatric disorders. He provides neurobehavioral and neuropsychological evaluations to patients through the Psychological Assessment Unit and the Rehabilitation and Extended Care Center of the VA San Diego Healthcare System. He is also involved in training Psychology Interns and Doctoral Students.
