Learning Objectives

Learning Objectives

  • This course provides an introduction to fundamentals in developmental cognitive assessment, theories and methods. It explores historical and modern neurocognitive approaches in evaluating cognitive abilities in children and discusses applications in research, clinical practice and education. The course is essential as a training component in areas of cognitive science and lifespan development.
  • History of Intelligence testing. The course will cover historic figures who contributed to the field of cognitive development and intelligence.
  • Theories of Cognitive Development. The course will introduce some theories of cognitive development that provide mechanisms for accounting for developmental change.
  • Methods of Intelligence testing. Classic methods of cognitive abilities include intelligence quotient measures. Recent research in cognitive development focuses on various methods of measurements such as executive function, working memory and mental attention.
  • Mental attentional capacity. Mental attention is a limited cognitive resource that quantitatively improve with age. Lectures in introduce theoretical and practical aspects of identifying stage-wise increases in mental attention.
  • Brain and Cognitive Development. The course will cover fundamental changes in brain development that coincide with increases in cognitive development.
Expected Learning Outcomes

Expected Learning Outcomes

  • Students will learn how to administer computerized and non-computerized measures of mental-attentional capacity.
  • The students will be able critically analyze research on developmental cognitive assessments.
  • The students will know about basics on history, theories and methods of intelligence testing across development
  • Students will be able to compose and present scientific content related to studies of cognitive development
Course Contents

Course Contents

  • Measures of parametric mental attentional capacity
    The lectures will introduce students to measures of parametric mental attentional capacity. Measures will include paper-and-pencil and computerized measures using software such as presentation from neurobs.com. Lectures will cover ethical standards for working with human participants and for practice the students will be asked to collect a sample of data.
  • History, theories and methods of cognitive development.
    The lectures present fundamentals in the history, theories and methods of cognitive development. These lectures encourage discussion and participation of students on topics such as classic figures that contributed to the field of cognitive development, theories on development and current methods of cognitive development in the literature.
  • Critically analyze research on developmental cognitive assessments
    The lectures will focus on methods of assessing age-related cognitive abilities in individuals. The content will cover participant selection, task selection and interpretation of findings. Students will have the opportunity to present an article of their choice.
