PSYC 318 - Symbolic Development in Children and History

Type of Course: Graduate Seminar
This course will be of interest to students interested in child development, cognition, and the history of human knowledge. The topic, early symbolism (in the historical as well as ontogenetic sense), has a rich history at Clark University, as well as contemporary relevance in cognitive psychology. We will examine some of the following areas: the development of symbolic communication, of number, and of writing in children and in history; magic and myths; symbolic play; symbolic representations in alchemy and modern science; children’s understanding of models, maps and graphs; and various aspects of mental representations in cognitive science.

Instructor: Ms. Wiser
