Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:	The aim of this course is to identify cognitive processes, to provide information about attention, KSB and USB and age-dependent changes in intelligence, to explain the biological and environmental factors playing a role in these changes and, to define important paradigms facing to review cognitive development.
Course Content:	This course includes important experimental paradigms to examine cognitive development, biological and environmental factors that play a role in cognitive processes, attention, SSD and SDB, and age-related changes in intelligence.
