DESCRIPTION:*ABSTRACT*:  Developmental research on cognitive control and s
 elf-regulation has recently started to use brain imaging measures during t
 ask performance to allow for the examination of brain-behavior relations -
  an exciting new field of research which started in the field of cognitive
  neuroscience. In my talk\, I will present evidence how use of brain imagi
 ng measures can inform us about developmental mechanisms underlying change
 s in cognitive control and self-regulation. Several studies will be presen
 ted in which experimental cognitive control tasks were used with children 
 and adolescents between 8 and 25 years in the domains of (1) training\, (2
 ) affective functioning and (3) social decision-making. Results indicate t
 hat developmental processes can be identified in brain function. I will ar
 gue that developmental changes in cognitive control can be best understood
  in terms of different developmental trajectories for dissociable brain fu
 nctions.\n\n*BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE*: Eveline Crone is Professor of Neurocognit
 ive Developmental Psychology at Leiden University. She received her PhD in
  2003 from the University of Amsterdam and spent 2 years as a post doctora
 l researcher at UC Davis before starting the Brain & Development Laborator
 y in 2005\, "http://www.brainanddevelopmentlab.nl/" \n\nEveline’s resear
 ch includes the psychological and neural processes involved in cognitive c
 ontrol and self-regulation. Her work employs a developmental cognitive neu
 roscience approach to examine the relation between brain development and c
 hanges in psychological processes from childhood to adulthood. Eveline has
  a secondary position as Professor in Affective Neurocognitive Development
  in Adolescence at the University of Amsterdam\, facilitated by the Dutch 
 Neurofederation.
