Eyes as the Window into the Mind – From Infants to Adulthood

Have you ever wondered how researchers study language development?

Researchers from the BabyLab at the University of Potsdam and from RUEG at the Leibniz-Zentrum Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft bring the lab to you! Come by and explore how an eye-tracker works and how it is used in investigating how babies and adults acquire languages. When do children understand their first words? Do you remember the first time that a child looked at an object that you called out? We can follow children’s looks and see how they learn words and grammar.

In our room you can expect exciting hands-on experiments for children and adults (10-14h and 16-18:30h). In addition, our experts will present interactive lectures (in English) on important topics such as infant research methodologies, language development milestones and multilingual education (14-16h). What are you waiting for? Fun experiments are waiting for you!
