IECD-588 Neuroscience Foundations of Infant Development and Mental Health4 semester credits
Current science provides a foundation and framework for understanding early brain and behavior development in the context of primary caregiving relationships. The course will explore evidence for developmental social neuroscience and provide students the opportunity to relate emerging science into their practice approaches. The course will cover fetal, newborn, and young child developmental and mental health neuroscience, and the impact of adverse childhood events and lifespan perspectives. Additionally, it will examine parent/caregiver neurophysiologic changes of pregnancy, newborn, and infant periods, including dyad and triad neuroscience.
- Fetal, newborn and young child developmental neuroscience
- Adverse childhood events and lifespan perspectives
- Neuroscience of mental health issues in infants and toddlers
- Neuroscience of parents/caregivers during pregnancy, newborn and infant periods
- Dyad and triad neuroscience
Delivery Method: Online
Grading Default: Letter
Learning Outcome(s):
- Discuss neurophysiologic changes that impact infant development and mental health during the fetal, newborn, and young infant periods.
- Discuss the neurophysiologic changes of parenting
- Synthesize current social neuroscience with regard to early relationship development between the dyad and triad (single versus double parent relationships)
- Develop a perspective on how mental health outcomes are affected by physiology and neurodevelopment
- Compare and contrast current Infant Mental Health practices that emphasize a neurophysiologic perspective with a psychodynamic perspective
- Analyze the literature on social neuroscience with attention to cultural aspects of development
