Students learn about the impact of brain dysfunction on behavior and mental processes, including the basic principles of neuropsychology as they relate to brain function and behaviour. Students explore topics such as the sensory, motor, cognitive and affective disturbances resulting from brain damage and dysfunction, and the clinical tests used in diagnosis. They examine experimental and clinical neuropsychology and neurology research, looking at a variety of fascinating case studies to better understand the impact of and recovery from brain dysfunction. Students learn through lecture, discussion, group work, debate, case studies, and peer presentations. Note: This is a seminar course.
