Special emphasis is put on issues which allow (1) choosing adequate diagnostic tools, (2) critically interpreting a patient's profile in relation to theoretical models, (3) writing a neuropsychological report and (4) identifying the relevant type of intervention for a given patient as well as the means to verify the effectiveness of the intervention.
At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |
| 1 | At the end of this teaching unit, the student will be able to: - Analyze the profile of performance of a patient on classic neuropsychological tests in relation to a cognition model (A1 and A2) - Present the results of neuropsychological tests in a neuropsychological report by following the conventional writing format (C1 and C2) - Propose intervention options which are in line with the patient¿s profile (B1 and secondarily B2 and B3) In addition, group work on a clinical vignette and the administration of neuropsychological tests will reinforce the following competences: - Interacting efficiently with peers (D1, D2, D3) - Acting as a university psychologist in a rigorous, deontological and ethical manner (E1, E2, E3) Finally, self-learning opportunities will allow the student to assess and increase his/her professionalism and competences (F1 and F2). |
