Title Infancy: Development from birth to age three
Description Content: In this proseminar, selected topics on early childhood development from the prenatal phase to 3 years of age will be explored in depth. The goal of the course is to learn about current research on cognitive, language, and socio-emotional development and to answer and discuss current research questions. Empirical articles that are based on the textbook will be discussed and evaluated. In addition, there will be a hands-on component to the proseminar where students can gain experience with a well-validated developmental test battery. Finally, we will explore a controversial topic related to early childhood from a scientific perspective.
Requirements: Attendance of the proseminar is associated with high requirements: First, independent reading of English articles, an interactive exchange about the literature as well as a regular attendance of the proseminar (max. 2 missed appointments) is expected. Second, there will be an assessment of a young child with a developmental test battery, and a group work on an empirical question. The final grade includes the evaluation and reflection of the child assessment, and evaluation of the group work.
Literature: Textbook (on ILIAS) and selected empirical articles (on Ilias).
