A lecture course taught by a single instructor. Where does human knowledge come from? In this course we will explore the origins of human knowledge through the lens of cognitive developmental science, and link it to ideas from other academic fields, such as philosophy, behavioral biology, neuroscience, and anthropology. The topics may include: depth, space, number, language, music, social understanding and learning & plasticity. We will examine findings and ideas from developmental science, broadly construed. Most importantly, we will learn about these findings and ideas both through readings and lectures, and through doing in-class experiments ourselves!
