Wonder Kids is a series of virtual talks on the fascinating world of child development, hosted each month.
Led by the Directors of UBC’s Early Development Research Group – some of the world’s leading developmental psychologists – we invite you to join the conversation on language, learning, and social development!
Speaker: Dr. Janet Werker, Professor of Psychology at UBC
Our ability to use language to communicate with one another is a remarkable skill! Yet, the most fascinating aspect is the mechanisms infants and toddlers use to be able to perceive and produce language, so early in their development. From monolinguals to multi-linguals, infants are employing a range of cues and techniques to help develop their language skills.
In this Q&A session, Dr. Werker from the Infant Studies Centre will be answering all your questions on language acquisition in monolingual and bilingual infants and toddlers.
