Abstract

This is a description of a flexible program to train graduate and advanced undergraduate students in research in developmental psychology. Stress is on observational training and experiments which exemplify current theoretical issues and techniques, using newborns through eighth graders. Sample courses are outlined and include observation of an infant in his own home; paired-observation projects for observer-reliability training; three or four experiments (from, e.g., Piaget, Bandura, Bruner); paper-design of an original experiment; class demonstrations with visiting children of various scales of development; visits to and from area researchers; movies. Student response is exceptionally favorable.
