Description

This course will be devoted to children’s thinking and intellectual growth, from infancy through adolescence. We will examine questions such as: How do babies think? How does language affect thought? How do we remember, organize, and explain the world differently, over development? What are the best ways to teach children academic topics such as reading and mathematics? When do children learn to distinguish right from wrong? How do individual and cultural differences affect children's reasoning? Does technology change how children learn?
Topics include: memory, attention, concepts and categories, language, problem-solving, moral reasoning, reading, mathematics, imagination, social bases of learning, atypical development, and cultural differences.

Course Requirements:

Basis of student evaluation: three non-cumulative exams, keeping a journal, and a final term project (10-12 pages).

Intended Audience:

No data submitted
