Dr Janine Cooper: Cognitive Psychologist, Neuroscientist, Neuropsychology researcher.
About this episode
In this episode, I discuss theories of human development including a look at the psychologists who proposed them and how these contribute to our current understanding of learning. I talk about neuroimaging research of the developing brain and how this lends support to the psychological theories. I also look at how we use internal concepts called schemas to help understand and modify our knowledge of the environment and how these can shape the way we form relationships in adult life, including the use of schema therapy.
