It focuses on exploring how human brain allows for acquiring complex cognitive and social skills. This course will give you a broad overview of current research and methods in this field. 课程性质与目的 At the end of the course, you are expecting to gain some basic understanding of the following questions: 1) how the brain develops from conception into adulthood and what is the role of experience in this development? 2) What are the methods researchers use to study developmental cognitive neuroscience? 3) Neural mechanisms involved in the development of some cognitive and social abilities, such as spatial cognition, object perception, memory, language, executive functions, emotion perception. Because this field is still young, the goal is not to memorize facts but rather to learn to think like a developmental cognitive neuroscientist. Thus, throughout the course, we will devote a certain amount of time to learning to design studies. Your final paper will be related to this. 教学内容与学时分配 Week Date Topic Readings In class activities Section 1.?
