About Neuropsychology and Brain Damage
GoConqr OriginalWhat the unit covers
This unit sits in the Clinical and Applied Neuroscience strand of Neuroscience. It looks at how damage to the brain changes thinking and behaviour. The listed resources are all at university level, and they come from many different courses.
Where to start
Begin with the basics. The quiz Neuropsychology opens with the idea that the field studies brain-behaviour relationships. The mind map Neuro-Psychology gives a short overview of how a physical problem in the brain can affect cognition and behaviour. For background, the flashcards History of Neuropsychology and the deck on a historical outline of the field cover early ideas such as phrenology and the clinico-anatomical method.
Causes and conditions
Next, move to what goes wrong and why. The quiz TBI 1 separates head injury from traumatic brain injury. Mind maps such as Neurology & Neuropathy of TBI and Module 2 Causes of Brain Damage build on that. The flashcards Neglect explain what neglect is, which tests are used and what a line bisection task involves. Other maps cover Amnesia, APHASIA, Anosognosia, Frontal Lobe Symptoms and Major Dysexecutive Syndromes. The mind map The ageing brain looks at small vessel disease and its signs.
Using quizzes and maps together
- Read a mind map to see how a topic fits together.
- Test yourself with a quiz on the same topic.
- Note what you got wrong and return to the matching flashcards.
- Repeat the quiz later to see what has stuck.
The deck Cognition & Learning - Neuropsychology is useful here, as it contrasts bottom-up and top-down processing. Teachers can use any of these as ready-made material for a seminar or a revision session.
Make it your own
Once you know what you need, choose a topic that feels shaky and build your own flashcards or map for it.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the quiz called Neuropsychology. It checks the basic idea that the field studies brain-behaviour relationships and how brain disorders affect behaviour. Then read the mind map Neuro-Psychology for an overview, and move on to the traumatic brain injury resources once the basics feel familiar.
What do the mind maps cover?
They cover conditions and causes, including traumatic brain injury, amnesia, aphasia, anosognosia, frontal lobe symptoms and dysexecutive syndromes. There is also a map on the ageing brain and small vessel disease, and others on the history of neuropsychology, case studies and memory disorders.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
Who are these resources for?
They are all at university level, so they suit university students revising neuropsychology or filling gaps in a course. Teachers can also use them as ready-made material for classes. Titles hint at different courses, so choose the ones that match your own.
Is there anything on assessment of patients?
Yes. The flashcards PA WEEK 7: Neuropsychological Assessment and Techniques of human neuropsychology look at how patients are assessed. The Neglect deck also covers tests used to spot neglect, including a line bisection task.
What if my topic is missing?
Try a related mind map or flashcard deck first, since many cover several topics at once. If you still can't find it, build your own flashcards, map or quiz for that topic and use the page's resources alongside it.
