During this 100% online TECH program, you will analyze perceptual disorders, including theories about selective, divided attention and executive functions”  

In recent years, there has been a widespread view that attentional disorders, such as ADHD, have increased, as have people with different cognitive and neurological demands. The truth is that these diagnoses have risen, but not because there are more cases than decades ago. In fact, this increase in statistics denotes a significant improvement in diagnostic mechanisms and their effectiveness. In other words, specialists now have tools and techniques with greater capacity to identify early on the attention or perception difficulties that some individuals may have.

At the same time, this is an ever-evolving field of research that requires professionals with up-to-date skills based on the latest scientific evidence. However, keeping up to date with these advances can be cumbersome for specialists, such as psychologists, since they need to combine their studies with their professional practice.

That is why TECH has put together this 100% online Postgraduate certificate in which psychologists will be able to delve into sensory and attentional processes, interpreting their impact on human learning and behavioral modifications. The program defines the alterations and associated disorders that are related to divergences in visual, auditory and speech perception. Also, the characteristics, factors and types of attention are analyzed, together with the theories on selective, divided attention and executive functions.

Similarly, the academic itinerary delves into the link between Neurosciences and Psychology from the study of brain bases, the P300 component and the latest neuroimaging techniques. All this in order to integrate the most disruptive knowledge for research and understanding of these processes.

In turn, to address all these contents, TECH provides a Virtual Campus, equipped with various multimedia resources, such as explanatory videos and interactive summaries, which enhance the comprehensive update of the students. Likewise, the educational materials will be accessible 24 hours a day, from anywhere, without any restriction, so that graduates can balance work and education, while relying on exclusive teaching methods, such as Relearning.

Get up to date on the most innovative mechanisms and procedures for the detection of perception disorders through the disruptive Relearning system implemented by TECH” 

This Postgraduate certificate in Psychology of Perception and Attention contains the most complete and up-to-date program on the market. The most important features include: 

• The development of case studies presented by experts in Psychology, Social Work, Care for People with Functional Diversity, etc.

• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection 

Throughout this university program you will have the best multimedia resources, such as explanatory videos, taught by experts with extensive professional experience in Psychology” 

The program’s teaching staff includes professionals from the field who contribute their work experience to this educational program, as well as renowned specialists from leading societies and prestigious universities.

The multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will provide the professional with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive education programmed to learn in real situations.

This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby the professional must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the course. For this purpose, students will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.

Delve into the links between Psychology and Neurosciences to address the modifications in the behavior of patients due to sensory and perceptual divergences"

At any time or place, you can consult the teaching material that TECH offers you for this program from its complete Virtual Campus"

The syllabus of this Postgraduate certificate comprehensively covers the fundamentals of sensory perception and attention. To this end, the academic itinerary delves into how the brain interprets visual, auditory and speech stimuli. Likewise, it addresses the characteristics, factors and types of attention, along with its associated disorders. Also, the program addresses the close link between Psychology and Neurosciences in order to understand these processes. Likewise, for the analysis of these contents, the program relies on the disruptive Relearning methodology that, through repetition, enables the assimilation of the most complex concepts.

You will delve into the research potential of the P300 component as an electrophysiological indicator and the neuroimaging techniques that facilitate its study”
