Assessment of Cognitive functioning using the visuospatial cueing task (Posner Paradigm) in the clinical field, Special relevance to attentional components Academic Level : Bachelor Paper details TITLE: Assessment of Cognitive functioning using the visuospatial cueing task (Posner Paradigm) in the clinical field, Special relevance to attentional components Practical analysis of analytical methods (clinical or health psychology) Purpose The purpose of the thesis is to present diagnostic methods, testing instruments which are applied or may be applied in clinical psychology, neuropsychology or in a broader sense in clinical practice. These testing instruments may serve clinical diagnosis and support therapy process or follow-up. Presentation should include the description of the method and the practical utility, difficulties and risks. Work needs to be illustrated with concrete examples. The thesis critically analyses the testing method and presents systematically and based on the empirical reference list the weaknesses of each method (e.g. criticism of Szondi test). Structure What is the purpose of the testing method and what are the relevant requirements satisfied by this method? What is the theoretical background of the method? Conditions of application of the method Detailed description of the testing method Presentation of the testing method with examples from the reference list Practical application of the testing method  SWOT analysis  Personal experiences related to the application of the method (if relevant)  Presentation of the method limits and critical analysis of the method Summary Reference list 5500 words Minimally 6 sources, ground work from herer: Posner, M.
