Neuropsychological Development and Assessment From Infancy to Adolescence
Abstract
Significant changes in developmental, cognitive, linguistic, affective, and behavioural domains characterise the continuous process of neuropsychological development from birth to adolescence. This chapter focusues on the stages of neuropsychological development from birth to adolescence outlined in Jean Piaget's Cognitive Development Theory (1936), as well as major contributions in the field by Lev Vygotsky and Alexander Luria. In addition, it describes how some well-known neuropsychological disorders, such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and intellectual disabilities, including Down syndrome can be diagnosed using the milestones of typical child development found in the Cognitive Development Theory. The chapter discusses important factors to consider when deciding whether interventions would be suitable for children with cognitive difficulties.
