Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience

An Introduction

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 how  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.
