Andrew Hooyman

Andrew Hooyman, PhD, GStat is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physical Therapy at Chapman University. He received his B.S. and M.S. in Kinesiology from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and his Ph.D. in Biokinesiology from the University of Southern California. He completed an NIH‑funded F32 postdoctoral fellowship in the School of Engineering at Arizona State University. Dr. Hooyman was among the first researchers to implement high validity measurement of motor skill learning using personal, internet connected devices that can be deployed remotely and unsupervised. This approach enables large scale, longitudinal assessment of diverse populations across the United States, providing insight into the environmental, health related, and genetic factors underlying individual differences in motor skill learning across short and long time scales. In addition, Dr. Hooyman has developed and implemented replicable, novel cognitive assessments targeting distinct cognitive domains t
