Advanced Neuropsychological Assessment - PSYN916

This unit provides the opportunity to learn about a wide variety of neuropsychological tests, and builds on foundations established in Advanced Evidence-based Neuropsychological Assessment PSYN853. Most of the session is devoted to exposition of tests commonly used by neuropsychologists, with each week’s presentations covering one or more cognitive domains. The development of a cognitive approach to clinical practice is introduced, and understanding the important clinical, practical, and psychometric features of tests. The unit also includes lectures exposing students to perspectives of clinical neurology and clinical neuroradiology, and issues relating to assessing capacity and working with clients from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
