COGS 260 (Section 913369) : Controversies and Conundrums in Developmental Science | Professor Gedeon Deák
This seminar will evaluate some pervasive questions and debates in the study of human development. The goal is to familiarize graduate students with long-standing and far-reaching theoretical problems and analyze those problems from a modern interdisciplinary perspective. For each question we'll review & evaluate high-impact research, drawing from work in developmental psychology, cognitive neuroscience, psycholinguistics, education, psychiatry, & primatology. We'll also touch on social and historical forces that have shaped the study of human development.
