Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of this teaching sequence, the student will have a general knowledge of typical cognitive development in the areas of psycho-motor acquisitions, visual and social cognition, memory, attention, executive functions, and metacognition.

Exam(s) in session
Any session
- In-person
written exam ( multiple-choice questionnaire, open-ended questions )
- Remote
written exam ( multiple-choice questionnaire )
Additional information:
The final assessment is a written exam consisting of a first part with close-ended questions (generalized true-false; out of 20 points) and a second part with open-ended questions (out of 20 points). The first part evaluates the knowledge of the course content while the second part evaluates the understanding of the contents and the ability to apply and analyze the content of the course. Therefore, the student must obtain a minimum score of 10/20 for each part. In case of failure in the first part (true-false), the second part (Open-ended Questions) will not be corrected by the teacher. The final score will thus correspond to the average score of the score obtained for the first part and the score of 0/20 obtained for the second part. During the consultation session, the answers expected for the second part (Open-ended Questions) will be explained to the students present at this session. If the student passes the first part and fails the second, only the score for the second part (out of 20) will be awarded. The score for the first part will therefore not be taken into account when calculating the overall score. The student will have to retake all parts in the second session. If the student passes both parts, the final score will be the average of the two part scores.
