Summary

In Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, the authors explore how changes in the structure and function of the brain relate to cognitive development in infants, children, and adolescents. By examining the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, and biology, this book provides insights into how the brain's development shapes learning, memory, and behaviour over time. With an emphasis on recent discoveries, it offers a comprehensive overview of the processes that underpin cognitive development.

Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience

Description

Landmark text focusing on the development of brain and behaviour 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, particularly 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 how techniques can be successfully adapted.

The text features a variety of student-friendly components such as chapter-end discussion, applications of basic research, and introductions to key experimental methods. An accompanying related resource website for students and educators includes a test bank of multiple choice questions.

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 developmental 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 resource for 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, paediatric medicine, and global health.

About the Author

MICHELLE de HAAN, PhD is Professor in Infant and Child Development at University College London Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health, UK. She is Editor of Developmental Science, and an international figure in the field of clinical and developmental social and cognitive neuroscience, with an emphasis on the early years and electrophysiological and behavioural methods.

IROISE DUMONTHEIL, PhD., is Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at the Centre for Brain and Cognitive Development, Birkbeck, University of London. Her research focuses on the typical development of the brain, cognition and behaviour during childhood and adolescence, in particular in the domains of social cognition and cognitive control, and on potential implications of neuroscience research for education.

MARK H. JOHNSON, FBA, PhD., is Professor of Experimental Psychology at the University of Cambridge, UK, and Professor at the Centre for Brain and Cognitive Development, Birkbeck, University of London. A founding leader of developmental cognitive neuroscience, his research focuses on both the typical and atypical development of the brain, cognition and behaviour over the first three years postnatal.
