1 COURSE DATA Data Subject Code Name Neuropsychology Cycle Grade ECTS Credits 4.5 Academic year Study (s) Degree Center Acad. Period year 1319 Grado de Psicología FACULTY OF PSYCHOLOGY 4 Second term Subjectmatter Degree Subjectmatter Character 1319 Grado de Psicología 37 Neuropsychology Optional Coordination Name ESPERT TORTAJADA, RAUL GADEA DOMENECH, M.ENGRACIA LACALLE ALBA, MARIA PILAR Department 268 PSYCHOBIOLOGY 268 PSYCHOBIOLOGY 268 PSYCHOBIOLOGY SUMMARY Neuropsychology is a scientific discipline mainly clinical, converging between neurology and psychology. Neuropsychology studies the effects of injury, damage or malfunction in the central nervous system structures on cognitive, psychological or emotional processes. These effects or deficits can be caused by head trauma, stroke, brain tumors, neurodegenerative diseases (eg Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, etc..) or neurodevelopmental diseases (epilepsy, autism spectrum disorders, cerebral palsy, a condition attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder, etc..). These etiologies discussed above can affect various cognitive domains such as language, attention, memory, gnosis, praxis, abstract reasoning, or intelligence, among others. For the diagnosis of these conditions the neuropsychologist use a battery of neuropsychological or structural/functional neuroimaging, in order to design specific programs of rehabilitation or cognitive stimulation to try to recover or replace lost cognitive function after injury. 1

2 PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE Relationship to other subjects of the same degree There are no specified enrollment restrictions with other subjects of the curriculum.

Ageing, dementia and other neurodegenerative processes Normal aging: brain and cognitive changes Mild cognitive impairment Dementias: General background Alzheimer's type Dementia Lewy bodies dementia Frontotemporal dementias Vascular dementias Subcortical dementias Dementia by prion WORKLOAD ACTIVITAT Hours % To be attended Theoretical and practical classes Development of individual work Study and independent work Readings supplementary material Preparation of practical classes and problem Resolution of case studies TOTAL TEACHING METHODOLOGY Scheduled tutoring individual or group to supervise practical work, guidance and resolution of doubts. Individual learning activities and group practical activities. Lectures with audiovisual presentations and new techniques and technologies on major diseases in clinical neuropsychology. Practices about how to use neuropsychological assessment tests and scales, watching videos and clinical case studies of real patients on various neurological conditions, including the realization of a real neuropsychological assessment EVALUATION The performance test (exam) on the level of knowledge acquired by the student will take the form of multiple choice questions with 3 choices. Such exam may include a case study with questions regarding a clinical case. It will be necessary to obtain a rating of 5 on this test to pass the subject. In any case, the maximum score in the test will represent 60% of the total grade. The remaining 40% is obtained in the form of either individual or group work with public exposure (powerpoint). 4

5 MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS To pass the course students must achieve a minimum score of 50% in the first element of assessment (theory and practical contents). With regard to the active participation component, students can be required to attend to individual or ingroup tutorials with the professor to verify the participation and consecution of the objectives of a certain developed task. WARNING Evidence of copying or plagiarism in any of the assessable tasks will result in failure to pass the subject and in appropriate disciplinary action being taken. Please note that, in accordance with article 13. d) of the Statute of the University Student (RD 1791/2010, of 30 December), it is the duty of students to refrain from using or participating in dishonest means in assessment tests, assignments or university official documents. During tutorials, lecturers may require individual or group interviews in order to verify the degree of participation and achievement of goals for any given task. Failure to accept the verification will result in such task or activity being failed. GRADING SCHEME Grades shall be subject to the provisions of the University of Valencia Regulations on Marks (ACGUV 12/2004). ( According to this, subjects are graded on a scale of 0 to 10 points to one decimal place, followed by a qualitative equivalence: From 0 to 4.9: fail. From 5 to 6.9: pass. From 7 to 8.9: good. From 9 to 10: excellent or excellent with distinction. The different elements of assessment will only count towards the final aggregate mark if the minimum requirements established for each element are met. Subject records will include the mark obtained at the first attempt according to the following rules: If the element of assessment with the highest weighting has not been assessed, the subject will be graded as ABSENT, irrespective of the rest. If the element of assessment with the highest weighting has been assessed but it does not meet minimum requirements, the subject will be given a mark of FAIL and the numerical mark on the 0 10 scale for that element. 5

6 If the element of assessment with the highest weighting has been assessed and it does meet minimum requirements but any of the remaining elements does not, the subject will be given a mark of FAIL and the numerical mark on the 010 scale for the element failed. For the second attempt, the following rules shall apply: The mark of ABSENT can only be awarded when more than one element of assessment including that with the highest weighting has not been assessed. If all the elements of assessment have been assessed but one of them does not meet minimum requirements, the subject will be given a mark of FAIL and the numerical mark on the 010 scale for the element failed. If more than one element of assessment has been failed, the element with the highest mark on the 10 point scale will be used. If one or more of the minimum requirements is not met and one element of assessment has not been assessed, the subject will be given a mark of FAIL and the numerical mark on the average numerical mark resulting from the two elements passed and the nonassessed element (which awards 0 points). The highest mark possible is 4.9. With regard to the possibility that a student may request an advancement of an exam call, according to the current normative, the evaluation will consist of the performance of an exam about the theoretical and practical knowledge (which will represent a 70% of the final mark) and a final report (which will represent a 30% of the final mark). Review of and appeals against assessment results shall be subject to the Regulations for Appealing against Marks (ACGUV of 29 April 2008). ( REFERENCES Basic Junqué C. y Barroso J. (2009).
