NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL METHODS IN PEDIATRICS
Keywords:
Neuropsychology, founders, higher mental functions, neuropsychological examination, correctional work.Abstract
The article is devoted to neuropsychology — a science that studies dysfunctions, the degree of formation of higher mental functions, and allows not only to describe the symptoms of their impairment, but also to identify mechanisms and develop adequate tactics for patient management. The authors emphasize that in recent years, the interest of psychologists, teachers, and pathopsychologists in this area has increased due to the increase in the number of children with adaptation difficulties and poor academic performance. The article covers in detail the features of a child’s neuropsychological examination, which should be structural and dynamic in nature. Clarification of the child’s individual characteristics and the formation of the necessary motivation by the doctor will allow for effective correctional work.
