DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this training program is to train four predoctoral students and up to four postdoctoral fellows each year in a broadly based program in developmental science at the University of Chicago. Trainees engage in a wide range of laboratory and field-based research that will enable them to conduct research on the basic science of development and to participate in serious ways in addressing and solving pressing practical problems. The program offers students exposure to a variety of studies and techniques, including experimental and naturalistic studies of infants, toddlers, and older children, gesture and narrative analysis, computational analysis, neuro-endocrine techniques, brain-imaging and electrophysiological techniques, and ethnographic studies. The program is comprised of a core of developmental faculty who are joined by additional faculty members with substantive interests in developmental issues. The training faculty focuses on three main content areas of research: cognitive, language, and social development. Across these content areas, the faculty investigates development at different levels of analysis -- the levels of individual psychological development, of biological influences on development, and of the social/contextual factors affecting development. The training faculty has a long tradition of collaborative research and teaching. Thus, students are exposed to multiple perspectives within each developmental research area, and they often engage in interdisciplinary research. The predoctoral program offers trainees a strong grounding in experimental psychology and provides specialized training in developmental science through courses, seminars, and research experiences. Predoctoral trainees and postdoctoral trainees attend the weekly developmental seminar. Postdoctoral trainees will have at least two mentors from the training faculty and will join a rich environment for postdoctoral investigations in the Department of Psychology.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该培训计划的目标是在芝加哥大学发展科学的广泛基础上，每年培训四名博士前学生和四名博士后研究员。受训人员从事广泛的实验室和实地研究，使他们能够对发展的基础科学进行研究，并认真参与处理和解决紧迫的实际问题。该计划为学生提供各种研究和技术，包括婴儿，幼儿和年龄较大的儿童的实验和自然主义研究，手势和叙事分析，计算分析，神经内分泌技术，脑成像和电生理技术，以及人种学研究。 该计划由发展教师的核心组成，他们由对发展问题有实质性兴趣的其他教师加入。培训教师专注于研究的三个主要内容领域：认知，语言和社会发展。在这些内容领域，教师调查在不同层次的分析发展-个人心理发展的水平，对发展的生物影响，以及影响发展的社会/背景因素。培训教师有着悠久的合作研究和教学的传统。因此，学生接触到每个发展研究领域内的多种观点，他们经常从事跨学科研究。 博士前课程为学员提供实验心理学的坚实基础，并通过课程，研讨会和研究经验提供发展科学的专业培训。博士前实习生和博士后实习生参加每周的发展研讨会。博士后学员将有至少两名来自培训学院的导师，并将加入心理学系博士后研究的丰富环境。
