In this talk, I ask two questions. First, can basic research in developmental cognitive science contribute to efforts to address this problem and promote Indian children’s learning in school? Second, can field research, using randomized designs to evaluate the impacts of curricula that aim to promote such children’s learning, such as the curricula tested in India, contribute to efforts, in developmental cognitive science, to gain a better understanding of human minds and how they grow and learn? *Anyone not affiliated with CEU wishing to attend in-person must RSVP here<https://forms.office.com/e/h5kxsrZVDY> before 12pm on the day to get access to the lecture hall. ______________________________________________ Subscribe by sending an empty mail to talks-subscribe(a)cogsci.ceu.edu Unsubscribe by sending an empty mail to talks-unsubscribe(a)cogsci.ceu.edu
