This course aims to introduce students to the relevant terminology pertaining to the domain of clinical neurolinguistics. A variety of clinical speech and language impairments ranging from developmental to acquired and neurodegenerative disorders, will be covered. The students will get acquainted with neurolinguistic concepts, definitions and pathologies, as well as with the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and neuro-anatomical substrates. The students will learn how these disorders are diagnosed and what tests/elements pertain to the diagnostic process. A practical assignment (WPO) will require students to further investigate aspects relating to a specific course theme.
Guest professors/speakers may be invited to give a lecture.
Extra-muros activities can be possible (mentioned on time, in class)
This course consists of a combination of "HOC": lectures & "WPO": practical assignment (see below)
Contact information:
The students know and can define all theoretical concepts related to neurolinguistic research.
The students know, and are able to locate, the different areas of the brain pertaining to the neurolinguistic study of speech and language processing.
The students are able to recognize the discussed speech and language disorders, and to develop on the pathophysiological mechanisms.
The students will gain insights into the co-occurrence of other neurocognitive disorders (agnosia, apraxia, amnesia, …) which share a common neurobiological substrate or are caused by damage to interconnected brain regions.
The students are able to find research on a specific theme related to the speech and language disorders covered in the course. The students can report on their insights and findings based upon a systematic literature review in the form of a scientific paper, written in an appropriate register of a standard variety of English and with an accurate use of the acquired terminology.
The students are able to report on their research findings in the form of an oral presentation.
De beoordeling bestaat uit volgende opdrachtcategorieën:

Final mark = 75% Theory (HOC) + 25% Practical assignment (WPO).
A pass mark is awarded if the final mark comprising of the sum the weighed scores of the two components (75% oral exam+ 25% practical assignment) is equal to or above 10/20. Students who failed one of the two components but who got a final mark ≥10/20, will not be allowed to take the failed exam component again.
If a student does not participate in all of the evaluation criteria of the course (HOC/WPO), the student will be marked “absent” for the course as a whole.
Late submissions of papers will *not* be accepted. All deadlines hold for both digital as well as paper copies.
Second session: students who scored below 10/20 during the first exam session, will have to redo the component or components they failed. If the failing mark concerns the group paper and presentation (practical assignment), an individual adaptation of the paper and an individual presentation will be required.
