ASMT863 Clinical Neuropsychology II
This is the second course in a two-part course that will cover the relationships between brain functioning and cognitive, affective, and behavioral functioning. The course will provide an understanding of how various medical and psychiatric disorders (e.g., dementia, ADHD, depression) can affect functioning across cognitive domains across the lifespan. Students will learn to interpret patterns of neuropsychological functioning to aid in differential diagnosis. This course will build neuropsychological report writing skills and teach students to incorporate background information, behavioral observations, and interpretation of test results into differential diagnosis and treatment recommendations. Students will become familiar with case presentation and fact-finding formats. Prerequisite: ASMT860, ASMT861, ASMT862
