That is, specific cognitive mechanisms are either present or absent at a given age. For example, parallels have been drawn between infants and patients with frontal lobe deficits. Circuits that support components of the adult system are assumed to come “on-line” at various ages. However, while this approach is likely to provide a reasonable first approximation for normal developmental events, it is unlikely to provide a full account in the long run. An alternative approach to investigating the relation between the developing brain and cognition is associated with a probabilistic epigenesis approach to biological development.
In general, insights from biology have begun to play a more central role in informing thinking about perceptual and cognitive development, for a number of reasons. First, a range of powerful new methods and tools have become available to cognitive neuroscientists. These techniques permit questions to be asked more directly than before about the biological basis of cognitive and perceptual development. These methods are discussed in Chapter 2. Importantly, theories which incorporate and reveal relationships between brain structures and cognitive functions will be useful in understanding the effects of early brain injury or genetic disorder on cognitive development.
A relatively new set of tools relate to the generation of structural and functional maps of brain activity based on changes in either cerebral metabolism, blood flow, or electrical activity. For some questions these new neuroimaging methods have replaced research on animals, while for other important scientific questions, such as genetic manipulation or gene expression, there remains no substitute to animal research. In addition to typically developing infants and children, researchers in developmental cognitive neuroscience have also turned their attention to studying children with developmental disorders of genetic origin such as autism and Williams syndrome, and cases of early deprivation due to sensory limitations or poor social context.
