Exercises will be devoted to neuropsychological diagnosis. Students learn the methods of work of a neuropsychologist, the neuropsychological diagnosis process and selected diagnostic tools. Higher cognitive disorders and types of clinical symptoms due to damage to various areas of the brain will be discussed.

During the course, students become acquainted with the neuropsychologist's methods of work, and the neuropsychological diagnosis process (cognitive processes (attention, memory, thinking, verbal functions, executive functions, visual and spatial functions), brain damage and cognitive and behavioral functions).

The tools used in neuropsychological diagnostics will also be discussed: theoretical basis, construction, application; neuropsychological profile
