About the Book

In recent years there has been a shift within developmental psychology away from examining the cognitive systems at different ages, to trying to understand exactly what are the mechanisms that generate change. What kind of learning mechanisms and representational changes drive cognitive development? How can the imaging techniques available help us to understand these mechanisms? This new volume in the highy cited and critically acclaimed Attention and Performance series is the first to provide a systematic investigation into the processes of change in mental development. It brings together world class scientists to address brain and cognitive development at several different levels, including phylogeny, genetics, neurophysiology, brain imaging, behavior, and computational modeling, across both typically and atypically developing populations. Presenting original new research from the frontiers of cognitive neuroscience, this book will have a substantial impact in this field, as well as on developmental psychology and developmental neuroscience.

Table of Contents:
1. Contrasting domains in the control of action: the routine and the non-routine; I - LEARNING MECHANISMS; 2. How far can you go with Hebbian learning, and when does it lead you astray?; 3. Constructive learning in the modelling of psychological development; 4. Dynamically guided learning; 5. Core mechanisms of word learning; II - CONSTRAINTS ON LEARNING; 6. Developmental constraints on or developmental structure in brain evolution?; 7. Under what conditions do infants detect continuity violations?; 8. The emergence of cognitive specialization in infancy:the case of face preference; 9. Age-related changes in infant memory retrieval: implication for knowledge acquisition; 10. Learning how to be flexible with words; 11. Social learning and social cognition: the case for pedagogy; 12. Commentary: Constraints on the acquisition of specialization for face processing; III - REPRESENTATIONAL CHANGE; 13. Different profiles of plasticity within human cognition; 14. Atypical representational change: conditions for the emergence of atypical modularity; 15. A brand new ball game: Bayes net and neural net learning mechanisms in young children; IV - REPRESENTATIONAL INTEGRATION AND DISSOCIATION; 16. Modelling integration and dissociation in brain and cognitive development; 17. Enhanced red/green color input to motion processing in infancy: evidence for increasing dissociation of color and motion and information during development; 18. When do 4-month olds remember the 'what' and 'where' of hidden objects?; 19. The infant as synaesthete?; 20. The development of human conceptual representations: a case study; V - WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED (OR CAN WE LEARN) FROM COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE ABOUT DEVELOPMENTAL CHANGE?; 21. Species comparisons in development: the case of the geometric 'module'; 22. Learning about learning and development with modern imaging technology; 23. Spatial cognitive development following early focal brain injury: evidence for adaptive change in brain and cognition; 24. Modules, genes and evolution: what have we learned from atypical development?; 25. Connectionist models in developmental cognitive neuroscience: critical periods and the paradox of success; 26. Processes of change in brain and cognitive development: the final word
