Pełny opis: |
(tylko po angielsku) Some approaches to neuropsychological assessment reflect psychology operational affirmation. These rely on statistical techniques for defining such constructs as “organic impairment” and “failure”, and assign diagnosis on actuarial basis. Other approaches (clinical – theoretical) developed out of single case studies and emphasized careful, intensive observations. In a field of inquiry as complex as the brain-behaviour relationship in human beings, an adaptable assessment which incorporates the strengths of both quantitative and qualitative approaches is required and students will be presented with the rules of each of the above. Students will be familiarized with cases of patients suffering from (among others) disorders of cognition, memory or language. Much attention is going to be devoted to the limitations of different assessment methods due to both patients’ populations and tool’s characteristics. |
