In this book, an elite group of international contributors presents the latest advances in the science of cognitive development. The authors work at prestigious labs across North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia, and their diverse linguistic backgrounds permit especially interesting work on language and cognition.
They explore such topics as the role of dopamine in ADHD, the development of self-consciousness and ethics, the use of functional MRI in epilepsy patients, and the crucial role of culture in the development of language. New, converging methodologies derived from behavioral experimentation, electrophysiology, eye tracking, genetics, and neuroimaging studies characterize this research.
Together, the chapters demonstrate a truly international and holistic approach to understanding human cognition and brain development.
