Learning unit contents
This course aims to study the psychological processes underlying the fundamental school subjects (reading, writing, arithmetic). It will address, among other things, the relationships between school learning and memory, attentional, executive, metacognitive and language capacities. It will adress also the links between brain functionning and learning, as well as the contribution of cognitive neuroscience to understanding learning processes. Particular learning situations will also be mentioned, such as school learning in a second language (children who do not have the language of instruction as their mother tongue, children following an early bilingual immersion education) and finally the school learning difficulties the child may have to face.
