Landmark text focusing on the development of brain and behavior
during infancy, childhood, and adolescence Developmental Cognitive
Neuroscience provides an accessible introduction to the main
methods, theories, and empirical findings of developmental
cognitive neuroscience. The focus is on human development from in
utero to early adulthood, but key comparative work is also
included. This new edition covers research in clinical/medical
populations, educational applications and major advancements in
methods and analysis, in particular with increasing longitudinal
research focusing on understanding the mechanisms of cognitive
development. It also contains a new chapter on global and
cross-cultural perspectives outlining how developmental cognitive
neuroscience has been applied in different settings and howÂ
techniques can be successfully adapted. The text features a variety
of student-friendly features such as chapter-end discussion,
applications of basic research, and introductions to key
experimental methods. An accompanying related resource website for
students and educators that includes a test bank of multiple choice
questions is also provided. Other sample topics covered in
Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience include: Biology of change,
methods, and populations, from gene to brain, building a brain, and
vision, orienting, and attention Perceiving and acting in a world
of objects, learning, and long-term memory, language, and
prefrontal cortex, working memory, and decision-making Perceiving
and acting in the social world, educational neuroscience,
interactive specialization, and integrating development cognitive
neuroscience Mid-childhood and adolescent development, social
cognition and neuroimaging, and broader cognitive neuroscience
approaches and theory With expansive yet accessible coverage
of the subject, Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience is an ideal
resourcefor upper level undergraduate and early postgraduate
readers. The text will further appeal to professionals in fields
that have adopted developmental cognitive neuroscience approaches,
such as education, clinical psychology, pediatric medicine and
global health.
How are the experiences of childhood incorporated into the
structures of the developing brain, and how do these changes in the
brain influence behaviour? This is one of the many questions
motivating research in the relatively new field of developmental
cognitive neuroscience. This book provides an extensive overview of
the methods used to study such questions, and a thorough
investigation into the emerging interface between neurobiological
and psychological perspectives in the study of typical and atypical
cognitive behaviour. The Cognitive Neuroscience of Development is a
collection of essays written by international experts in the field.
It covers not only traditional topics such as language, attention
and memory development, but also includes individual chapters
covering the theories of neurocognitive development and methods of
studying brain activity in young infants and children. There are
additional chapters on hormonal influences on brain and behavioural
development, gender differences in the brain, and genetic
disorders. This exceptional series of contributions surveys the
study of both cognitive and neural development. The book takes into
account brain architecture as well as the behavioural context of
development, thus it succeeds in integrating the multiple methods
and domains of research that have previously been studied in a more
fragmented way. It will be invaluable to upper level students as
well as researchers and teachers in Psychology, Neuroscience,
Cognitive Science, Paediatrics and related fields.
In the World Library of Psychologists series, international experts
present career-long collections of what they judge to be their
finest pieces - extracts from books, key articles, salient research
findings, and their major practical theoretical contributions. This
influential volume of papers, chosen by Professor Annette
Karmiloff-Smith before she passed away, recognises her major
contribution to the field of developmental psychology. Published
over a 40-year period, the papers included here address the major
themes that permeate through Annette's work: from typical to
atypical development, genetics and computation modelling
approaches, and neuroimaging of the developing brain. A newly
written introduction by Michael S. C. Thomas and Mark H. Johnson
gives an overview of her research journey and contextualises her
selection of papers in relation to changes in the field over time.
Thinking Developmentally from Constructivism to
Neuroconstructivism: Selected Works of Annette Karmiloff-Smith is
of great interest to researchers and postgraduates in child
development specialising in atypical development, developmental
disorders, and developmental neuroscience. It also has appeal to
clinical neuropsychologists and rehabilitation professionals.
