PSYC 512 Current Directions in Social Cognition Research from a Developmental Perspective
|
|
Social cognition has been an especially popular area of investigation for developmental psychologists, cognitive scientists, education researchers and developmental neuroscientists in the past four decades. What has started out as a quest to understand children's developing perspective taking abilities in the 80s has evolved into a lively and multi-faceted area of research. In this course, we will focus on lines of social cognition research in the last five years.
Some examples of these research areas include:
- Cultural differences in conceptualizations of epistemologies,
- Scaffolding perspective-taking through mental state talk,
- Taking perspective on false, conflicting, and diverse beliefs,
- Taking perspective on self in time (e.g., episodic foresight),
- Perspective-taking in problem-solving (hypothetical and counter-factual thought)
- Learning and Scientific Thought (i.e., text comprehension, scientific thinking)
