The aim of this project is to enhance student’s knowledge on memory decline and dementia. Furthermore, they will be able to get deeper understanding of the different types of dementia. The students will have the opportunity to choose between two tasks – one which is clinically oriented and one which is research oriented. The clinically oriented task will be to work on a case study interpreting data from neuropsychological tests. The research-oriented task will be to prepare a literature review about the difference between normal ageing and dementia.
