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 weighted-average grade of 4 from the three components of evaluation 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.
