Abstract

Memory, Learning and Cognitive Development is an elective course focusing the development of human cognition, designed for the Master’s Program: Cognitive sciences and technologies: From neuron to cognition. This course aims to introduce students to the study of cognitive development from a broad different point of view. Evidence from multiple disciplines, including cognitive and developmental psychology as well as from cognitive neuroscience will be examined. The course covers the development of different cognitive abilities in children, going from the most basic to highest-level cognitive domains. The course will start with a review of the main findings from cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience about the development of attentional and perceptual abilities. Subsequent themes will cover topics such as categorization and learning abilities in children, as well as the development of social learning. The course will be also focused on the acquisition of both oral and written language abilities and particular attention will be pay to the development of different types of memory in children. Finally, the presence of high-domain cognitive abilities in children, such as metacognition, abstract reasoning and problem solving will be discussed. The course Memory, Learning and Cognitive Development is a new and unique discipline within the educational programs of the National Research University Higher School of Economics. The course is based on the contemporary scientific research in cognitive science, following both classic behavior and cognitive neuroscience studies on cognitive development. The course is essential in training competent specialist in the areas of cognitive sciences and technologies.
