Wonder Kids is a series of virtual talks on the fascinating world of child development, hosted each month through July 2021.
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. Lauren Emberson, assistant professor with UBC Psychology and co-founder and co-director of the Princeton Baby and Princeton Kids Labs.
Topic:
How do young babies learn?
Description:
As adults, we often do not have any or very few memories of our infancy. In the past, it was thought that this was because babies were not good learners and were not forming memories. However, we now know that infants are excellent learners. This talk will highlight some exciting research findings from Dr. Emberson’s Baby Learning Lab on how infants learn and the ways in which learning and new experiences engage their brains and minds!
