CSD 2252 ADVANCED PHYSIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT

3 cr.

    Alternating years
The purpose of this course is to provide training beyond the basic background in clinical electrophysiological methods and the measurement and applications of the short-latency auditory evoked potentials. Upon completion of the course, the student should have an in-depth grasp of the underlying physiologic phenomena being recorded, methods and influence of mode of stimulation, the normal and pathologic variables involved, and audiologic applications and interpretations of these measurements. The student also should have developed competency in the performance of evaluations of the short latency potentials, basic competency in the measurement of other evoked potentials, and familiarity with such advanced applications as intraoperative monitoring.

CSD 2275 COGNITIVE-COMMUNICATIVE DISORDERS

3 cr.

This course will address the nature, assessment, and management of cognitive and communicative disorders in three populations: adults with right hemisphere brain damage, traumatic brain injury, and dementing conditions. In the first portion of the class, students will become familiar with current concepts, models, and measures of cognitive functions that are associated with, or potentially underlie, the neurologic communication disorders in these populations. Then students will apply this information to differentiating the cognitive-communicative disorders from each other and from aphasia, and to selecting or generating diagnostic and treatment approaches best suited to patients' characteristics and needs.
