A 100% online program designed to advance your professional career and apply all this knowledge in your classroom"

The reception, storage, processing and retrieval of information involves cognitive functions that, without them, would not be possible. A process that is closely related to attention span, memory, language, praxias or gnosias. All of these are concepts that the teaching professional should know in order to better understand the learning process of students and how to guide learning according to the characteristics of the students or the content to be taught. This Postgraduate certificate provides the professional with advanced knowledge in the field of the Bases of Cognitive Functions via a 100% online format, which will allow them to combine quality teaching with their work and/or personal responsibilities. 

The professional is offered a university program, which over the course of 6 weeks will allow them to acquire the basic concepts in neurobiology involved in attention, memory, language, perception, visuospatial functions or executive functions.  In addition, through multimedia content, students will learn about the main characteristics and types of praxias and agnosias. The simulations of practical cases provided by the specialized teaching staff will be very useful for students to approach real situations. 

TECH offers, with this Postgraduate certificate, the opportunity to acquire advanced learning comfortably. For this purpose, students only need to have an electronic device (computer, tablet or cell phone) with which to connect to the virtual platform where the entire syllabus is stored. Having the complete content available from the beginning of the program will allow students to distribute the course load according to their needs. An ideal flexibility for professionals seeking to pursue a high-level educational program without neglecting other areas of their life. 

Combine a university qualification with other areas of your life. TECH adapts to you”

This Postgraduate certificate in Principles of Cognitive Functions contains the most complete and up-to-date program on the market. The most important features include:

• The development of practical cases presented by experts in Psychology and Neurology
• The graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
• Practical exercises where the self-assessment process can be carried out to improve learning
• Its special emphasis on innovative methodologies
• Theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection

What the memorization process is, what cognitive functions are involved, and their characteristics are just some of the concepts that you will integrate with this program"

The program’s teaching staff includes professionals from sector who contribute their work experience to this 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 academic year. For this purpose, the student will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.

Delve into praxias and gnosias in a more visual way thanks to the multimedia content of this program"

Over 6 weeks, you will have the opportunity to delve into the origins of cognitive functions"

TECH uses the latest technology applied to education in the syllabus of its programs with the aim of offering students a teaching according to the current academic times. This way, students have at their disposal video summaries, detailed videos, interactive diagrams, which are complemented with essential readings and real clinical cases. A set of didactic material that will allow you to delve in a more dynamic way into cognitive functions and neurobiological bases. Also, with the Relearning system, you will be able to reduce the long hours of study normally spent in other methodologies.
