PSYCH 335 - Developmental Neuropsychology

Developmental neuropsychology is a field in which brain-behaviour relationships are examined in the context of typical and atypical development. This course focuses on the structural development of the brain, the emergence of functional brain systems, and the neuropsychological underpinnings of childhood brain disorders such as phenylketonuria, autism, epilepsy, and stroke. Emphasis is placed on the integration of theoretical perspectives and empirical research in neuropsychology with clinical practice.
