We explore how child development and behaviour can be influenced by these experiences, but we also look at the way protective factors function (on the level of the child, their family and the wider community) to buffer the adverse outcomes often associated with these negative early experiences. \r\nThe module also covers a range of interventions that can be implemented to improve outcomes for children and their families and has a strong focus on the role of the parent and parenting style as an agent for change. \r\n\r\nThere are two assignments associated with the module. The first being an independently researched oral presentation. Students have the opportunity to identify an area of interest to them, research the topic thoroughly and then present this as a formal 10-minute presentation. Previous topics explored include: the impact of war and displacement of child well-being; the use of medication with young children with behavioural and attentional difficulties; the impact of growing-up in the care system on educational outcomes; nutrition in children's early years and how sugar and fat content in baby food is contributing to childhood obesity\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 and the list goes on!\r\nThe second assessment is a final written examination including a seen essay question and some short answer questions, that allow students to demonstrate their knowledge on core subjects.", "delivery_locations": ["Bangor"], "credits": 20, "level": "Lefel 6", "language_code": "cy", "language_name": "Cymraeg", "semester": "", "semester_months": "", "type": "Dewisol", "language_choice": false}, {"title": "Niwrowyddoniaeth Wybyddol", "module_title": "Niwrowyddoniaeth Wybyddol", "short_title": "Cognitive Neuroscience", "module_code": "PCP-3004", "marketing_synopsis": "This course introduces students to the primary methods in experimental and theoretical cognitive neuroscience.

But, as we all know, this dream of a perfect healthy life is hard to achieve, and even harder to maintain. During the life span, it reaches it peak at around adolescence before quickly starting to decline while we are still fairly young. Optimal control can only be achieved during short periods of time, before our mind starts wandering again. Too much or too little sleep, anxiety or even nutrients can alter this perfect balance. How can something so precious for out functioning can be so fragile? This is because its main superpower is its flexibility, needed to adapt them to our needs and goals. We can't really learn these functions, they cannot become automatic. \r\n\r\nThis course will give you a deeper understanding of how this beautiful control is achieved using two different strategies: (a) theoretical lectures to isolate the different neurocognitive systems involved in executive control, and (b) workshops where we analyse a myriad of clinical cases with respect their difficulties to achieve this control.

You will also be given an opportunity to learn how counsellors and psychotherapists work in four key therapeutic approaches: Person-Centred, Psychoanalytic, Cognitive, and Behavioural. In addition, you will learn about the key skills required to work as a therapist, including communication skills, managing distress, and helping others. Most importantly, you will apply this knowledge by discussing a range of real-world case studies and practicing your communication skills in one-to-one interpersonal sessions. If you choose to pursue a career in counselling or psychotherapy, then the content, activities, and assessments on this module will support you in beginning to develop your foundation of skills. However, even if you choose not to pursue a career in this field, the knowledge gained, and skills developed on this module will be valuable across a wide range of helping professions. Furthermore, your enhanced understanding of human nature and the capacity for change through counselling and psychotherapy can have enormous potential benefits for your own self-awareness, development, and growth.\r\n\r\nPlease note that this module comes with a content warning.
