Overview of class

In recent years, a field known as Developmental Science has inspired new
disciplinary y and interdisciplinary y ventures. As result, there has been a blossoming
of new research ideas and experimental techniques, all aimed at discovering what
infants really know. The very y best work in Developmental Science draws upon
strong theoretical traditions to consider how adopting a developmental perspective
enriches our understanding of development broadly, including language, cognitive
and social development. This seminar is designed to introduce students to classic
theoretical issues, consider evidence from diverse methodological approaches, and
to spark new ideas for research. In this project-based seminar, students will identify
new research questions and develop experimental designs to address them.
