Welcome to the Neurolab Platform

NEUROLAB’s mission is the NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF BLIND CHILDREN from 7 to 12 years old (IBC students). This assessment contributes to research on IMAGEMOTOR AND VERBAL SIMULTANEOUS AND SUCCESSIVE CORTICAL PROCESSES through formal neuropsychological tests.

This work and research project, beyond its direct benefit to IBC’s students’ pedagogical assessment, seeks to improve the quality of the teaching-learning process with blind children. To that end, we intend to use a strategy of comparing neuropsychological assessments with neurophysiological, neuromorphological, and neurofunctional investigations, with the intent of promoting knowledge about the particular cognitive style of the basic informational channel of the blind: the audio-phonetic channel. This will serve as material support for the development of specific pedagogical strategies, that is to say, to structure mental matrices or maps that will serve as models for the development of intervention programs based on the use of simultaneous and/or successive cognitive processes (imagemotor or verbal) geared to learning generative rules that promote the construction of various knowledge objects. The inclusion of any area of teaching is contemplated.

Blindness in children can occur in conjunction with other clinical pathologies, neurological or psychiatric. The prevalence of these and other conditions will also be studied.
