What will I learn?
This course covers the full scope of cognitive development, from foundational theories by Piaget and Vygotsky to information-processing models, language acquisition, and social-emotional influences on learning. You will explore how attention, memory, and executive function mature across childhood and adulthood. You will also examine how culture, neuroscience, and individual differences shape cognitive outcomes. Practical chapters translate theory into instructional design, intervention planning, and program evaluation. By the end, you will have the tools to support cognitive growth across diverse populations and professional settings.
