Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:
1. Select, administer, and score standardized psychometric instruments for cognitive assessment, including intelligence batteries and neuropsychological batteries used in clinical and research settings throughout Europe. (With practical training in administering and scoring psychometric tools)
2. Critically analyze and interpret data from cognitive and affect assessment tasks, distinguishing between typical and pathological aging processes (e.g., mild cognitive impairment, specific types of dementia) (By participating in exercises interpreting multiple cognitive profiles and working with anonymous case data, as well as participating in clinical examinations to practice analysis and diagnosis).
3. Evaluate the basic dimensions of social cognition, such as emotion recognition, theory of mind, and empathy, using standardized psychometric tools (by participating in clinical assessments).
4. Critically analyze data related to current aging assessment practices and contribute to the development of more comprehensive, ethical, and culturally sensitive assessment approaches in research and clinical practice.
General Competences
- Apply knowledge in practice
- Work autonomously
- Work in teams
- Work in an interdisciplinary team
- Appreciate diversity and multiculturality
Course Content (Syllabus)
The course presents classical and new tools for the assessment of cognitive functions, memory, social cognition and everyday functioning in elderly individuals. Students are introduced to and practice administration of classic tests assessing global cognition, used worldwide, and are extensively used in clinical contexts to diagnose dementia and/or Mild Cognitive Impairment. To acquire a more thorough and accurate assessment of any cognitive decline in the aging populations, students practice administration of comprehensive neuropsychological batteries, the subtests of which focus on assessing specific cognitive abilities. In addition to the presentation of traditional psychometric batteries, innovative computerized tests are presented, and students have experience administering them under supervision, to specific populations. To assess early cognitive decline in middle age, students are exposed to a series of self-report questionnaires related to cognitive errors. In addition, tests and tasks developed to assess specific dimensions of social cognition are presented as well, as questionnaires assessing affect (negative and positive, specific emotions, as a trait and as a state, as an experience or as regulation) and daily functioning.
