  • PSYCH 3306: Neuroscience of Development and Aging

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    This course will integrate students’ knowledge of behavioral and cognitive relationships between young adult neuroanatomy and behavior that they studied in prerequisite courses (Psychology 2501 (0260) – Foundations of Behavioral Neuroscience or Psychology 2502 (0265) – Foundations of Cognitive Neuroscience) with information about the development and aging of behavior, cognition and neuroanatomy and neurophysiology. The initial emphasis in the course will be on embryonic and fetal development of the central nervous system and emergent behavioral plasticity. Sensory and motor development in the fetus will be examined. Postnatal development of the cerebral cortex and developmental outcomes will be explored in the context of environmental phenomena that can amplify or inhibit the organism’s adaptive capacity. Normal aging of the brain will be contrasted to neurodegenerative diseases of old age, and the cognitive and behavioral consequences of both normal and non-normal aging will be presented. Prerequisite:    For majors and minors: PSYCH 2501 (0260) or 2502 (0265), and 2196 (W123); for non-majors and non-minors: PSYCH 1071 and permission of the instructor

  • PSYCH 3307: Theories of Development

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    It has been said, “There is nothing more practical than a good theory”. How can theories have practical application? Theories serve as windows to the world of science, allowing us to “see” particular facts” and help us explain things that cannot explain themselves. Theories are the hallmark of science, fundamental to organizing our knowledge and allowing us to interpret and question it. In this course, students examine the role of theories in scientific thinking and research and they explore the components of theories unique to developmental psychology. In addition to learning about specific theories, such as those developed by Piaget, Vygotsky, Erikson, Kohlberg, Freud, Wilson, Chomsky, Ainsworth, Skinner and Bandura, students begin to appreciate the origins of theories, the relations between them and their consequences for acquiring future knowledge.
