Section 3 introduces the features of cognitive rehabilitation in pathological aging.

The course will adopt a variety of teaching methods to provide a comprehensive and engaging learning experience. In addition to traditional lectures, we will host expert professionals from various areas of psychological research and clinical practice, such as neuropsychologists. These experts will share their knowledge and experiences with the students, offering a unique opportunity to deepen the understanding of different applications of cognitive and socio-cognitive interventions in both healthy and clinical aging. It is important to note that there will be no differentiation of the curriculum between attending and non-attending students. All students will have the opportunity to access the course content and fully benefit from the educational resources available. Students will also be invited to participate in the presentation and active discussion of interventions. The course aims to provide a stimulating and inclusive learning environment that encourages active student participation and promotes a deep understanding of cognitive and socio-cognitive interventions.
