The course covers normal and abnormal life span development of (neuro)behavioural functions (e.g., executive functioning). Some of the most prevalent (neuro)behavioural disorders (e.g., ASD, OCD, anxiety and depression) will be discussed further. Risk factors and factors modulating neurobehavioral functioning (such as neurotransmitters, genetics, and hormonal influences) are also considered during the seminars. Students will critically read publications and judge experimental designs, research methods, theories and new developments in the field of neuropsychology.

Aim of subject:
(Neuro) psychology studies brain-behaviour relationships both in healthy (normal variance) and damaged brains (broad spectrum - injury, disease, and development). In the courses, the students will gain knowledge about methods to measure brain function and behaviour. The emphasis lies on applied science and (evidence-based) care for the individual. Among other things, the students will be able to read, understand and discuss scientific papers.
Gained knowledge and skills:
● knowledge and ability to explain the most common neurobehavioral disorders;
● the ability to differentiate neurobehavioural disorders from a healthy life span development by focusing on brain-behaviour relations; the ability to distinguish modulating factors of neurobehavioural functioning.
