CIFAL Argentina- Cognitive neuroscience in forensic science
In the last decades Cognitive Neuroscience has given us new theoretical and practical frameworks about the processes related to the brain and cognition. The mind-body relationship duality has been displaced towards a new dimension where a more unicist and integrative vision incorporates the person's interaction with their social context. From the Cognitive Neuroscience, new approaches to many of the health problems have emerged. Recent research is optimizing interventions and contributing new knowledge to the management of forensic problems. This new knowledge requires trained professionals, not only in the strategies but in a research vision that allows them to delve into the new paradigm of Cognitive Neuroscience.
- To train lawyers, Health and Penitentiary in Forensic Cognitive Neuroscience through the acquisition of tools, strategies, abilities and skills for the management of the main problems that arise in daily practice.
- To develop a system of continuous education on Cognitive Forensic Neuroscience.
Theworkshop is structured to generate knowledge based on forensic cognitive neuroscience and the application of that knowledge in professional practice. (Knowledge and Performance).
This workshop is aimed at different target, so we divide the objectives according to each of them:
- Healthcare Professionals
- Guard jails
- Professionals of Justice
The workshop includes the following sessions:
• Introduction to Cognitive Neuroscience.
• Neurocognitive Model of the Person. Representational Systems Construction of Meanings.
• Neurolinguistic model.
• Memory Systems
• Attention Systems
• Introduction to forensic cognitive neurosciences.
• Biological and neurocognitive bases of violence:
• Psychopathy from the Cognitive Forensic Neuroscience.
• Antisocial personality disorder.
• Sexuality, normal and pathological.
• Neuro-criminology.
• Evaluation of simulation in the criminal, civil and labor field.
The learning methodology is the neurocgnitive model, which includes Memory Systems, Attention Systems, Executive Functions, Multiple Intelligences, Emotional Intelligence, Problem Solving, Leadership, etc. looking for the development of generate constructive learning processes, meaningful and for Discovery (contextualized). Develop learning strategies centered on the student, where the teacher is a facilitator of the process (autonomous learning). Develop content, skills, skills, attitudes and values.
The strategies used are multiple, some of them are: experiential and multisensory learning, cases, exercises, presentation of videos, multimedia presentations, student participation in the construction of knowledge, interaction among students, working memory, semantic memory and autobiographical memory , etc.
