The seminar topic for this year is cognitive development during the middle childhood years—roughly ages 5 to 11. We will examine a number of realms in which school-aged children are described as undergoing cognitive change, among them: perception, attention, memory, categorization, reasoning, planning, and decision-making. We will also review children’s academic learning and their own understanding of their cognitive processes.
