Аннотация

This course provides an integrated exploration of human development from infancy through adolescence, bridging classic psychological theories with modern cognitive neuroscience. Students will critically evaluate foundational developmental frameworks and build upon them to examine the neurobiological mechanisms of cognitive growth, including synaptic pruning, myelination, and functional brain network maturation. The curriculum emphasizes the practical application of developmental science. Students will learn to design and critically assess research using key behavioral and neuroimaging methods tailored for pediatric populations. A core focus will be on translating empirical findings from large-scale studies to understand real-world issues in education, and policy, preparing students to contribute to the next generation of developmental research and its applications.

Цель освоения дисциплины

to critically evaluate core developmental theories (e.g., Piaget, Vygotsky) and their key debates, forming a foundation for modern research questions.
to select and apply age-appropriate behavioral and neuroimaging methods for designing robust, ethical studies with children and adolescents.
to analyze cognitive development through neurobiological mechanisms (e.g., pruning, myelination) and connect these to behavioral milestones.
to translate neuroscientific evidence from large-scale studies into practical applications for education and research.

Планируемые результаты обучения

to reasonably choose suitable neuroimaging methods for studying cognitive development with samples of children and adolescents
to think critically about key theoretical aspects relevant to research, including domain-specific vs. domain-general frameworks, descriptive vs. causal models, and developmental vs. adult-focused theories
to apply essential research methods and best practices for designing and conducting studies across diverse age groups, enabling students to develop robust, age-appropriate research designs for diverse populations
to analyze cognitive development from neurobiological perspective and connect it to educational practices
