Postgraduate certificate Principles of Cognitive Functions

The role of healthcare professionals is key in a paradigm in which cognitive functions are fundamental in any task to be developed by the human being. Attention, orientation, memory, gnosias, executive functions, praxias, language, social cognition and visuospatial skills are some of the capabilities that develop according to cognition. For this reason, specialists are required to study their origins and know how to identify their characteristics and, above all, how to treat and care for their conditions in an up-to-date manner. For this reason, TECH offers a 100% online program that includes audiovisual content in various formats and additional high-quality material to delve in a personalized way in the most technical aspects of the subject.
