Developmental Neuropsychology

Journal Title：Developmental Neuropsychology

Devoted to exploring relationships between brain and behavior across the life span, Developmental Neuropsychology publishes scholarly papers on the appearance and development of behavioral functions, such as language, perception, and social, motivational and cognitive processes as they relate to brain functions and structures. Appropriate subjects include studies of changes in cognitive function—brain structure relationships across a time period, early cognitive behaviors in normal and brain-damaged children, plasticity and recovery of function after early brain damage, the development of complex cognitive and motor skills, and specific and nonspecific disturbances, such as learning disabilities, mental retardation, schizophrenia, stuttering, and developmental aphasia. In the gerontologic areas, relevant subjects include neuropsychological analyses of normal age-related changes in brain and behavioral functions, such as sensory, motor, cognitive, and adaptive abilities; studies of age-related diseases of the nervous system; and recovery of function in later life.

Empirical studies, research reviews, case reports, critical commentaries, and book reviews are featured in each issue. By publishing both basic and clinical studies of the developing and aging brain, the journal encourages additional scholarly work that advances understanding of the field of lifespan developmental neuropsychology.

《发育神经心理学》致力于探索生命周期中大脑与行为之间的关系，发表有关行为功能的出现和发展的学术论文，例如语言、感知以及与大脑功能和结构相关的社交、动机和认知过程。适当的主题包括认知功能变化的研究——一段时间内的大脑结构关系、正常和脑损伤儿童的早期认知行为、早期脑损伤后的可塑性和功能恢复、复杂认知和运动技能的发展以及特定和非特定的障碍，例如学习障碍、智力低下、精神分裂症、口吃和发育性失语症。在老年病学领域，相关主题包括对大脑和行为功能（例如感觉、运动、认知和适应能力）的正常与年龄相关的变化的神经心理学分析；与年龄相关的神经系统疾病研究；以及晚年功能的恢复。

每期都刊登了实证研究、研究评论、病例报告、批判性评论和书评。通过发表关于大脑发育和衰老的基础和临床研究，该期刊鼓励开展更多学术研究，以促进对终身发育神经心理学领域的理解。
