D111: Introduction to Neuropsychology

Psychology

This introductory class explores the fascinating relationship between brain function and behaviour, providing a foundational understanding of neuropsychology. Examine how various brain structures contribute to cognition, emotion, and behaviour, and how injury, disease, or dysfunction can alter psychological processes. Core topics include brain anatomy and function, neurodevelopment, cognitive domains (e.g. memory, attention, language), and neuropsychological disorders such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, dementia and epilepsy. You will be introduced to basic neuropsychological assessment tools and case study approaches used in clinical and research settings. This class emphasises clear explanations, real-life examples, and practical relevance. No prior neuroscience knowledge is required. Lecture style with question and answer time.
