Program details
Overview
The major aim of the Developmental Psychology research master programme is to understand the various neural, cognitive and behavioural changes that occur during development.
In this two-year research master's programme you will gain hands-on experience with various assessment procedures: self-report, behavioural observation, experimental manipulations, psycho-physiological assessment (skin conductance, heart rate, cortisol, etc.), EEG, and fMRI.
Hence, multi-method approaches are used to address the complex and dynamic interplay between emotion, cognition and the developing brain.
