Course content

This courses is composed of two components:
- In-depth studies of clinical cases in neuropsychology: This component will allow students to return to the major case studies at the origin of our theoretical models in neuropsychology. After a brief history addressing the first case studies and the birth of neuropsychology, we will see how the succession of in-depth studies of clinical cases made it possible to gradually modify the theoretical models of cognitive functions. A few Statistical tools specific to the single and multiple case studies will also be presented. According to opportunities, specific cases will also be presented and discussed by Confirmed clinical neuropsychologists.
- Special questions in cognitive psychology : The subject topic depends on the guest teacher
