ESS 43256 - Developing Minds

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Education

Description:

In this course, students will learn some of the ways cognition changes with age, experience, and education. Cognition in this course is defined broadly and includes, but is not limited to, basic processes such as memory, knowledge of subjects taught in school (e.g., reading and arithmetic), and thoughts about one's self as a learner (e.g., perceived self-competence). The age range covered is from birth to old age. Two fundamental questions addressed throughout the course are: What cognitive abilities do individuals of different ages bring to learning environments and how do learning environments affect individuals' thinking?
