Course content

The course gives an advanced study in the area of cognition, communication and disability, on the basis of current research. The course begins with an overview of different memory systems and how these relate to communication ability. Memory and language are studied around different themes, such as hearing, reading, writing and development. The course highlights typical and atypical neurological, cognitive and linguistic development. The basic concepts and theories that are highlighted during the course are applied on patient groups such as cerebral paresis, autism, CI, learning disability and language disorder. Clinical applications, such as testing and assessment from patient case are an important part of the course.

Teaching and working methods

The course contains lectures, clinical laboratory sessions, demonstrations, seminars and literature studies.

Examination

The course is examined through an individual assignment that focuses the course contents from a patient-centred interdisciplinary perspective, and is presented at a seminar.

Other information

Planning and implementation of a course must take its starting point in the wording of the syllabus. The course evaluation included in each course must therefore take up the question how well the course agrees with the syllabus. The course is carried out in such a way that both men´s and women´s experience and knowledge is made visible and developed.
