Contents, comment
-
The seminar will be divided in three main sections. Firstly, we will provide a theoretical background about neuropsychological assessment considering its ethical and pragmatic consequences. Secondly, the main classification accuracy indices used in neuropsychological assessment will be explained and discussed. Likewise, calculations and principles that underlie each index will be clarified. Thirdly, an introduction to the Symptom Validity Assessment will be given. Nowadays, this topic is considered as a standard for every neuropsychological assessment according to the National Academy of Neuropsychology (NAN).
The methodology of teaching includes a mixture of lectures, literature review and discussions. Each topic in the list below will be discussed in two or three sessions.• Introduction to neuropsychological assessment.
