Developmental cognitive neuroscience is the study of how our brain allows for the acquisition, refinement, and maintenance of complex cognitive and social abilities. The field addresses questions such as: how do changes in the brain affect perceptual, cognitive, social, and affective development, and, in turn, how does experience shape brain development? This area is by definition interdisciplinary and thus topics will draw primarily from the fields of cognitive neuroscience and developmental psychology, as well as their intersection. Emphasis will be placed on discussion of current research, evaluation of how findings fit into the field's broader context, and new proposals of research in the field. Special attention will be paid to the question of how neuroscience methods can inform development. The goal of this course is to gain an understanding of current research, methods, and theories in developmental cognitive neuroscience.
