Cognitive Development and Cognitive Neuroscience: The Learning Brain
Autor Dean D'Souza, Usha Goswamien Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 mar 2027
Building on the framework for teaching cognitive development, the authors show how different cognitive domains, such as language, causal reasoning, and theory of mind, may emerge from automatic neural perceptual processes. This third edition introduces significant updates to reflect the latest research and broaden the scope of the text. Three new chapters have been added, providing an overview of theories explaining cognitive development, the methods used to study development, and a final chapter offering reflections that tie together the themes of the textbook. Expanded content throughout includes a new section on sample diversity, emphasising the importance of studying non-WEIRD populations, as well as a dedicated section on the teenage brain. Additionally, recent neuroimaging studies have been incorporated to provide cutting-edge insights into brain function and development.
This comprehensive textbook is essential for higher-level undergraduate students studying developmental and cognitive psychology, education, language, and the learning sciences. It is also a valuable resource for professionals and trainees working with children, offering a deeper understanding of cognitive development and its implications for learning and teaching.

Recenzii
Reviews from the Previous Edition:
“Goswami’s stated goal in writing this book is "to provide a selective, but hopefully representative, review of some of the most interesting past and current work in cognitive development and developmental cognitive neuroscience." She attains this goal in impressive fashion. Professors as well as students will learn a lot from reading this book; I know that I did.”
Robert S. Siegler, Schiff Foundations Professor of Psychology and Education, Teachers College, Columbia University
“In this revision of a now-classic overview of cognitive development, Goswami continues to provide an engaging and synthetic review of the best behavioural research in the area, informed by interchange with cognitive science, neuroscience, computer modelling, and studies of nonhuman animals. Working through the lens of neuroconstructivism, she nevertheless provides a lucid account of other classic and contemporary theories.”
Nora S. Newcombe, Laura H. Carnell Professor of Psychology, Temple University, Philadelphia
“In this book, Goswami masterfully blends research from traditional approaches to the study of cognitive development with the latest insights into developmental processes emerging from neuroscience and genetics. Spanning the developmental arch from prenatal development through to adolescence, this book provides an engaging overview of the developmental processes associated with attention, learning, memory, language, reasoning and the emergence of concepts. A must read for not only for those interested in cognitive development but also for instructors seeking an up-to-date, interdisciplinary synthesis of cognitive development.”
Daniel Ansari, Professor and Canada Research Chair in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience and Learning in the Department of Psychology and the Brain & Mind Institute at the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario
“While some texts have an encyclopedic feel in terms of including a one-sentence description of every study in the literature, giving rise to a disjointed reading experience, Goswami’s Cognitive Neuroscience and Cognitive Development has a more natural narrative flow. Coherence is preserved in the movement across topics because the book has an organizing theme in which ideas from cognitive neuroscience are used to connect perception and cognition. The notion that cognitive development may emerge from distributed spatial and temporal patterns of activity in brain response to perceptual experience, activity that is enriched as language is acquired, is especially provocative.”
