Catherine Tamis-LeMonda, New York University, on Mothers' and Fathers' Contributions to Children's Language and Development In this webinar, Professor Tamis-LeMonda will discuss some of her current research on cognitive development and early literacy. This talk will explore questions such as: How do infants' interactions with mothers, fathers, and other members of their families and social networks affect their language development, learning trajectories, and later school readiness? How might developmental pathways differ across cultural communities that vary in parenting views and practices?
