Omschrijving | This course introduces the discipline of ‘developmental neuropsychology’. Students will learn about the basic principles of neuropsychological assessment and intervention techniques in childhood, and how these differ from adulthood. The biopsychosocial model is central to this discipline in explaining long-term (neuropsychological) outcomes. Students will familiarize themselves with the general diagnostic and intervention procedures for common childhood disorders affecting brain development, including (but not limited to) preterm birth, traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, autism spectrum disorders, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, Down syndrome and diabetes. Alterations in neurodevelopment and neuropsychological outcomes of these disorders are the main focus of this course. | ||||||||||||||||
