Abstract

The possibilities for building and nourishing connections among the social, cultural, neuroscientific, biological, and cognitive sciences in the service of understanding children and their development are tremendously exciting. Crossing, and integrating across, disciplinary boundaries, especially those disciplines relating to biology/neuroscience, society/culture, cognition, emotion, perception, and motor function has greatly increased over the last decade and hopefully will increase exponentially in the future. All of these aspects of being human are multiply-interrelated and we need to make far more progress in understanding those interrelations. Developmental science has been influenced more and more by an appreciation of the profound and multilayered interrelations between the 'intellect' (our cognitive abilities), 'heart' (emotions and motivation), 'eyes and ears' (perception), human spirit, physical body, social relations, and culture. A full understanding requires attention to all of these multiplyinterrelated facets. The last decades of the 20th century saw the development and proliferation of initiatives to link cognitive psychology (including cognitive development) with neuroscience. Brain and cognition institutes and multidisciplinary programs sprang up around the world. Hopefully, the 21st century will see the continued expansion of such initiatives so that social, emotional, and cultural influences and outcomes are equal partners in the initiatives. Who we are and what we think is a product not only of our genes, but also of our social, cultural, and physical environments, of their interactions with one another, and of their interactions with our genes (

Culture and Neuroscience in Developmental Psychology: Contributions and Challenges
Marcel Kinsbourne

Even with the recent exponential growth in neuroscience research, relatively little attention has been given to cultural influences on brain maturation. In the case of psychological processes that are culturally variable, work in cultural developmental neuroscience is vital in determining the degree of generality that can be attributed to neuroscientific findings and in providing unique insight into how developmental neurobiology interacts with sociocultural parameters. The present article highlights contributions of cultural research in developmental neuroscience in identifying both common and culturally variable brain–behavior pathways and in understanding the nature and extent of brain plasticity. It also points to the importance of cultural work in highlighting the constitutive role of collective meanings in psychological phenomena and in preventing the drawing of unwarranted deterministic conclusions from neurological evidence.

Embodied Brains, Social Minds, Cultural Meaning: Integrating Neuroscientific and Educational Research on Social-Affective Development
M. Immordino-yang

American Educational Research Journal, 2017

Social-affective neuroscience is revealing that human brain development is inherently social-our very nature is organized by nurture. To explore the implications for human development and education, we present a series of interdisciplinary studies documenting individual and cultural variability in the neurobiological correlates of emotional feelings. From these studies, we derive educational research hypotheses and a theoretical framework that facilitates integrating sociocultural and neurobiological levels of analysis. Our over-arching aim is to begin to conceptualize a role for neurobiological evidence in educational studies of sociality, emotion, culture, and identity. Overcoming the historical distance between educational and neuroscientific research on social-affective development would enable a more complete science of human experience and enhance appreciation of cultural learning, benefiting both fields. KEYWORDS: identity development, educational neuroscience, embodied learning, social-emotional learning, fMRI R esearch on learning in the mid-to late-20th century was dominated by cognitive scientific and computational approaches that divorced cognition MARY HELEN IMMORDINO-YANG is an associate professor of education, psychology, and neuroscience at the University of Southern California, at the Brain and Creativity Institute and the Rossier School of Education, 3620A McClintock Ave, Room 267,. Her research focuses on the psychological and neurophysiological bases of social emotions, self-awareness, and acculturation through development and education. A former public junior high school science teacher, Immordino-Yang received her doctorate from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. REBECCA GOTLIEB is a PhD student at the Rossier School of Education and at the Brain and Creativity Institute, University of Southern California. She studies social, emotional, and identity development and their relations to students' learning and creative thinking.

Nurturing Nature: How Brain Development Is Inherently Social and Emotional, and What This Means for Education
Christina Kundrak, M. Immordino-yang

Educational Pyschologist, 2019

New advances in neurobiology are revealing that brain development and the learning it enables are directly dependent on social-emotional experience. Growing bodies of research reveal the importance of socially triggered epigenetic contributions to brain development and brain network configuration, with implications for social-emotional functioning, cognition, motivation, and learning. Brain development is also impacted by health-related and physical developmental factors, such as sleep, toxin exposure, and puberty, which in turn influence social-emotional functioning and cognition. An appreciation of the dynamic interdependencies of social-emotional experience, health-related factors, brain development and learning underscores the importance of a “whole child” approach to education reform and leads to important insights for research on social-emotional learning. To facilitate these interdisciplinary conversations, here we conceptualize within a developmental framework current evidence on the fundamental and ubiquitous biological constraints and affordances undergirding social-emotional learning–related constructs and learning more broadly. Learning indeed depends on how nature is nurtured.

A happy marriage between developmental psychology and neuroscience, yes but…with some problems
maria josefa Rodrigo

Infancia y Aprendizaje, 2010

In this response to the commentaries on the target article, "Where developmental psychology and neuroscience meet: A threatening or a felicitous encounter?" I address three nuclear topics. First, I make explicit some underlying assumptions that prevent us from reducing psychological to neurological phenomena. Second, I delve deeper into the relationships between neurological and psychological levels. In so doing, I describe some strengths and shortcomings of neuroimaging techniques in their attempt to analyse brain functioning. Finally, I add some evidence illustrating that Neuroscience can place the Nature/Nurture debate on more productive grounds.

Early Childhood and Neuroscience - Links to Development and Learning
Leslie Wasserman

2013

This academic and scholarly book series will focus on the education and development of young children from infancy through eight years of age. The series will provide a synthesis of current theory and research on trends, issues, controversies, and challenges in the early childhood fi eld and examine implications for practice. One hallmark of the series will be comprehensive reviews of research on a variety of topics with particular relevance for early childhood educators worldwide. The mission of the series is to enrich and enlarge early childhood educators' knowledge, enhance their professional development, and reassert the importance of early childhood education to the international community. The audience for the series includes college students, teachers of young children, college and university faculty, and professionals from fi elds other than education who are unifi ed by their commitment to the care and education of young children. In many ways, the proposed series is an outgrowth of the success of Early Childhood Education Journal which has grown from a quarterly magazine to a respected and international professional journal that is published six times a year.

Where developmental psychology and neuroscience meet: A threatening or a felicitous encounter?
maria josefa Rodrigo

Infancia y Aprendizaje, 2010

Recently, a new field of developmental cognitive/socio-affective neuroscience has emerged at the crossroads of Developmental Psychology and Neuroscience, linked to new advances in neuroimaging and electrophysiological measures. This paper presents arguments and evidence from a variety of research areas to illustrate the potential strength of the neuroscience approach to the study of developmental phenomena. In particular, it is argued that adding neurological data to our theorisation of change may produce several beneficial effects: a) bringing new light to old topics; b) refining complex psychological constructs, and c) developing research areas that contemplate several levels of analysis, from genes to contextual influences. Finally, some reflections are presented on the challenges involved in adapting to new technologies and building new theoretical proposals. It is concluded that these challenges are worthwhile because they could potentially bring an end to the polarisation in our discipline between cognitive and sociocultural approaches by encompassing both within a more comprehensive view of developmental processes.

Sociocultural Developmental Neuroscience: Introduction, Implications, and Guiding Principles
Yolanda Vasquez-Salgado

2021

Neuroscience has been a growing field since the 1940s and, with the advent of new tools for investigating the brain, has skyrocketed in scientific interest. However, most of what is known about human brain development may be applicable only to a restricted set of populations. This situation is problematic because we know cultural features (e.g., values, beliefs, practices) have a profound impact on cognitive, social, and emotional development, yet only recently has research documented the role culture plays in shaping the brain. Though the field of cultural neuroscience has brought promise, it can benefit from the integration of a sociodemographic and developmental lens. This chapter summarizes bodies of multidisciplinary work that integrate sociocultural (sociodemographics, cultural features, or both), developmental research designs (longitudinal, sensitive periods, cross-sectional) and neuroscience research or research that could benefit from this type of multidisciplinary integration. It also discusses the implications of this integration for future research in the new field, sociocultural developmental neuroscience, as well as the implications this integration has for global mental health. The chapter also provides initial, guiding principles, for how neuroscientists can go about engaging in this new, emerging field.

Commentary: An Integration of Neuroscience into the Study of Child Development
Mdjamal Husain

It seems to me that there are currently two new major trends in the research into child development. One trend is to push the frontier of research into even earlier stage of development. Younger babies' surprisingly advanced cognitive abilities become a focus of interest (Colombo, 2001; Dehaene-Lamber tz, Dehaene, & Her tz-Pannier, 2002; Fiser & Aslin, 2002; Saffran, Aslin, & Newport, 1996; Stager, & Werker, 1997). The second trend is to investigate the relations between children's cognitive and social development and their ...
