Description
This advanced seminar examines the relation between children’s learning to communicate and their cognitive development. The premise of the course is that these two phenomena are intricately linked: The language and communicative routines that children learn enable new modes of cognition, which in turn allow for more complex communications. Furthermore, the symbolic systems and tools that have been developed as communicative tools (e.g., speech, writing, digital technologies) become tools of thought. Through reading and discussion of foundation and contemporary work, students will be provided with an overview of the key theoretical and empirical issues related to communication and cognitive development.
