Cíle předmětu
After attending the lectures, actively participating in the tutorials, and reading the recommended articles and book chapters, the students will have acquired a good knowledge of the methods that are currently used in developmental cognitive neuroscience, including its application, advantages, and limitations. The students will also be familiar with key contemporary issues in this discipline. They will also know how to examine neuro-cognitive evidence, formulate and test hypotheses, and interpret data. At the end of the module, students will better understand the current state of the field and the importance of the developmental approach (tested by a final exam and essay).

Informace učitele
This module focuses on how brain, mind, and behaviour develop and interact with each other. Bringing together recent advances in this rapidly developing field of science, it will provide students with a comprehensive account of how and why certain neuro-cognitive processes emerge over time. It will also emphasize the importance of understanding different levels of description (from genes through neurons to behaviour). The module will be divided into two parts: Foundations and Special Topics. The first part will introduce the field, current theories, and methods (e.g., EEG/ERP, eye-tracking, fMRI). The second part will focus on special topics. Each Special Topic will be presented by a visiting lecturer studying at the University of London who is currently carrying out research on the special topic that he/she will be giving a lecture on.
The visiting lecturers are studying at or collaborating with the following institutions:
*Goldsmiths InfantLab, University of London: http://www.gold.ac.uk/infantlab/
*Centre for Brain and Cognitive Development, Birkbeck, University of London: http://www.cbcd.bbk.ac.uk
*Birkbeck Babylab, University of London: http://www.cbcd.bbk.ac.uk/babylab
*Babylab, University of Oxford: http://babylab.psy.ox.ac.uk
*Brain & Behaviour Lab, Birkbeck, University of London: http://brainb.psyc.bbk.ac.uk
