Description:

The International Max Planck Research School on the Life Course (LIFE) is a joint international PhD Program of the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, the Freie Universität Berlin, the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, the University of Michigan, the University of Virginia, and the University of Zurich.The goal of the Research School is the study of the systematic changes in human behavior over evolutionary and ontogenetic time. The general approach is aimed at advancing the behavioral and social science of human development. LIFE takes an integrative and interdisciplinary approach to understanding human development in a changing world, connecting evolutionary, ontogenetic, historical, and institutional perspectives. The focus is on the evolution and interaction of individual and institutional development.The curriculum combines psychology, educational science, neuroscience, and biology, focussing especially on the dynamics of human behavior on different time scales. The LIFE Theory Lab: Contemporary theorizing, methodological advancements, and future challenges for lifespan developmental scienceWe are happy to announce the LIFE Theory Lab 2020, a series of 10 lectures promoting an openscience virtual exchange on conceptual and methodological advances in the study of behavioral development. The Theory Lab will give leading researchers a platform to share their views on the ways in which the dance between theory and method (Nesselroade, 1988, cited in Nesselroade, 2006) has informed their own work, and has fostered scientific progress. Recent advances in evolutionary theory, genetics, imaging methods, behavioral observation, statistical tools, formal modeling, and machine learning provide unprecedented opportunities for describing, understanding, and ameliorating individual developmental change across the lifespan. Lifespan psychology has sought to provide a conceptual framework for capturing the overall architecture of human ontogeny (Baltes, 1997). Time has come to revisit this framework in the light of these recent advances, and gauge its function for structuring our knowledge about invariant and malleable aspects of human ontogeny.Our lecture series promotes open formats of science dissemination. Technically, the lectures will rely on GoToWebinar. Lecture attendees will be given the opportunity to register for free with their email addresses.For registration please click the following link: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/1007678624789361675Generally, sessions will be recorded and made available on the LIFE video channel of the MPI for Human Development at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVWzJFaTnS4Bo73emm98jnw/aboutPROGRAMJune 04, 2020Tomás Ryan (Trinity College Dublin) Memory and Instinct as a Continuum of Information Storage June 11, 2020Charles Nelson (Harvard University) Critical Periods in Early Human Development June 18, 2020Candice Odgers (Duke University) Charting Individual Development June 25, 2020Eric Turkheimer (University of Virginia) Gene Environment Interplay July 02, 2020Lars Nyberg (Umea University) Lifespan Maintenance of Brain and Cognition Fiction or Science?
