Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Developmental cognitive neuroscience is a discipline at the interface between developmental psychology and cognitive neuroscience. It studies (a)typical cognition in relation to structural and functional brain development over the course of a lifespan.
In this seminar, we will first aim to understand the methods used in the field (including EEG, fNIRS, fMRI): what information about the brain they provide, how they are used with infants and older children, and what their limitations are. Then, we will discuss a number of recent studies on neurocognitive development, and cover some of the major debates in the field (including various facets of the "nature-nurture" debate).

Assessment and permitted materials

Participants will be required to prepare a quiz about a scientific paper (40% of the grade). There will also be a written assignment (30% of the grade). Additionally, participants will be expected to participate in discussions and activities during the seminar (30% of the grade).

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Attendance is mandatory (absence in two sessions is permitted). A minimum grade of 4 for each evaluation component is needed to pass.

Examination topics

There will be no written examination.

Reading list

The literature will be provided on the Moodle platform of the course.
