Complex Mental Development and Changes across Lifespan – BP (91)
This recurring SEP reviews applications focused on development and lifespan-related changes in perception and cognition in humans, including attention, learning, memory, decision making, executive function and social cognition, language development. Longitudinal study of these functions in normal populations, at-risk populations, and not-yet-diagnosed populations are included. This study section primarily reviews human studies at the individual level.

Topics
- Longitudinal study of cognition and changes in specific cognitive processes due to normal development or aging.
- Cross-sectional studies which primarily assess age effects and presence of risk factors for developing cognitive impairment.
- Development of cognitive and executive functions in normal and at-risk infants and children.
- Factors affecting development/ developmental trajectories normal and at-risk infants and children.
- Role of cognition, attention, perception, and executive function for language processing in normal and at-risk populations.
- Changes in cognitive-linguistic processes in healthy older adults and adults at-risk for age-related cognitive decline.
- Changes in sensorimotor function, motor-related decision-making, motor learning, and motor adaptation in normal and at-risk populations.
