Cognitive Neuroscience

Paper Summary:

This paper examines the book, "Developmental Differences in Cognitive Diatheses for Childhood Depression," written by J.E. Turner and C.A. Cole. The book is an empirical research study addressing the issue of the developmental stage of a child and its influence on depression causation. It also explores the importance of the developmental level with regards to factorial causation of depression.

From the Paper:

"The research base of the work is demonstrative of the recent findings in childhood depression that fail to consider age as a factor to reactionary causation of depression. Turner and Cole address the works based on the Abramson model of learned helplessness theory and children, that study a large range of age without regard to differences in developmental level. The research does not respond to the vast differences that can be associated with the developmental level of the different children grouping together children of vastly different ages and therefore developmental levels."
