This course provides students who have already had
background in developmental and/or cognitive psychology
with in-depth experience in designing, conducting, and
writing up scientific studies on the beginnings of language
development in infancy. Students will participate in
research team(s), given the nature of infancy research.
The work of the course will rely strongly on laboratory
research projects and on laboratory research and on related
discussions of primary source readings on research and
methodology.
