Introduction to Neuropsychology: Children’s Learning and Memory

I love studying the brain, and no, you do not have to be a rocket scientist to explore this fascinating subject of Neuropsychology. This introductory workshop will increase your understanding of how the brain affects behaviour and how behaviour affects the brain. Why do we forget? Why do we remember? How do we learn? And, how can we create fun educational experiences that may enhance long-term memory function? I look forward to your participation in this journey of discovery.

• Introduction to brain anatomy
• Brain damage and behaviour changes
• Neurons: Types, structure and function
