Development of the Sensory, Motor and Cognitive Neural Systems (CHLD0053)

Description: Development of sensory, motor and cognitive neural systems

This module presents the normal and potentially abnormal development of neural systems sub serving sensory, motor, cognitive and social functions. The normal neuroanatomical and functional development of each system and the integration between systems is described.

The content of this module is delivered in accordance with the British Psychological Society 2019 Clinical Neuropsychology Standards for Accreditation (Paediatric Programmes).

 

Learning Objectives and Outcomes

After taking this module, you will be able to:

Understand typical sensory, motor, cognitive and social development
	Be able to explain normal functional and neuroanatomical development of each sensory, motor, cognitive and social neural system and the integration between systems.
	Know the major theories of cognitive development
 

Who is this module for?

This is a core module for the MSc Paediatric Neuropsychology.

 

Teaching and Learning Methods

Teaching is delivered through live face-to-face, online and pre-recorded lecturers, alongside learning through readings and tutorials, discussion, and seminar sessions.

 

Assessment

You will be assessed by an online timed (90 minute) exam, in which the format of the questions may be multiple-choice, matching the correct answer from a list of options, deciding whether statements are true/false, or short answer (e.g., completing a statement using one or two words or answering a more open-ended question with a short paragraph).
