Abstract
The field of Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience has taught us a great deal about the developing brain and how it relates to our cognitive development. However, there are a number of unique challenges in working with children and adolescents that need to be considered in an experimental design or analysis. This workshop will present the major conceptual and methodological challenges in working in a young population and some practical solutions, covering neuropsychological/cognitive measures and neuroimaging techniques (MRI, EEG and Brain Stimulation).
