Opis

This volume is a special issue of Developmental Neuropsychology and it presents papers exploring normal neuropsychological development in the school-age years. Topics covered include: the effects of age on neurocognitive measures in the age range from five to twelve years of age; the development of executive functions through late childhood and adolescence in an Australian sample; lateralities in normal children aged three to eight and their role in cognitive performance; and more. The contributors include M. Korkman, M. Rosselli, L. Klenberg, K. Hugdahl, S.L. Kemp, U. Kirk, M. De Agostini and R. Jacobs.

In neuropsychological research on normal development relatively little interest has been devoted to age-related changes in school age. This is surprising in the light of the significance of the changes that take place in this period of life; the availability of normative data; and the ongoing research on neural development. The studies included in this issue take a closer look at normative data from school-age children of various ages in performances of attention, language, sensorimotor and perceptual functions, memory and learning, and functional asymmetries. It is hoped that this special issue will draw attention to the scarcity of data in this realm and to the possibilities of utilizing existing databases for study on normal development in school age.
