Neurocognitive Development: Normative Development

This is one of a two volume work on neurocognitive development, focusing separately on normative and non-normative development. The normative volume focuses on neurology, biology, genetics, and psychology of normative cognitive development. It covers the development of intellectual abilities, visual perception, motor function, language, memory, attention, executive function, social cognition, learning abilities, and affect and behavior. The book identifies when and how these functions develop, the genetics and neurophysiology of their operation, and their evaluation and assessment in clinical practice. This book will serve as a comprehensive reference to researchers in cognitive development in neuroscience, psychology, and medicine, as well as to clinicians and allied health professionals focused on developmental disabilities (child neurologists, pediatric neuropsychologists, child psychiatrists, speech and language therapists, and occupational therapists.) Summarizes research on normative neurocognitive developmentIncludes intellectual abilities, language, memory, attention, motor function, and moreDiscusses genetics and environmental influences on developmentProvides interdisciplinary information of use to both researchers and clinicians INDICE: Part 1: General Introduction to Factors Affecting Neurocognitive Development 1.
