Me too! I'd be interested
But as Mike said, SRCD has not been very kind to this approach to
development. It is worth trying though, I think

>> Betsy Hoza, Melanie Killen, Louis J. Moses and Cynthia Stifter, and
>> I now
>> have the privilege of processing new submissions to the journal.
>> (Current *
>> CD* Editor Lynn Liben and her editorial team are continuing to handle

>>
>> Are there any changes in store for *Child Development*? That is the
>> question
>> that I have received most often since being named Incoming Editor
>> of the
>> journal. *Child Development* will of course continue to publish the
>> best and
>> most forward-looking research in the developmental sciences. But
>> look for an
>> addition to our existing paper formats: *Empirical articles, Reviews,
>> Essays, Child Development and…, From another perspective. *The new
>> format is
>> entitled *Empirical reports*. This format will feature shorter
>> cutting-edge
>> empirical papers that are no longer than 4000 words in length
>> (including
>> text, tables, footnotes, appendices, but excluding abstract and
>> references),
>> which advance research and knowledge in an area through noteworthy
>> findings
>> and/or new methods. For manuscripts that require longer
>> descriptions of
>> methods and results, authors should use the Empirical Article
>> format, which
>> will continue to serve as the main vehicle of publication for
>> papers that
>> appear in *CD*. (Please note that manuscripts that have been
>> rejected at *CD
>> * in one of the empirical formats cannot be resubmitted to *CD* in
>> the other
>> empirical format.) Some other changes are in store for *CD* as

>> January, 2009.
>>
>> The Incoming Associate Editors and I have already begun discussing
>> a number
>> of special initiatives for the journal including ideas for Special
>> Sections
>> and Issues. Some special sections are already underway. Kevin
>> Pelphrey and
>> Rebecca Saxe will be co-editing a special section on Developmental

>> Cognitive Neuroscience. Nathan Fox and Sir Michael Rutter will be
>> co-editing
>> a special section on the Effects of Early Experience on

>> * Monographs* publishes major reports of developmental research that

>> use
>> diverse methods including multivariate, longitudinal, demographic,
>> clinical,
>> ethnographic, and experimental analyses. Cross-national, cross-
>> cultural,
>> and studies of gender, ethnic, and racial diversity are of particular
>> interest. We are committed to expanding the presence of

>> research

>> processes. We are
>> now accepting three new paper formats: (a) Brief reports (no more
>> than 12-15
>> manuscript pages including all references, tables and figures). These
>> reports should be modeled after research reports in journals like
>> *Science*and should focus on the methods and results. Such reports
>> are
>> particularly
>> appropriate for basic descriptive studies that extend prior work to
>> new
>> populations. This format is also appropriate for cross sectional,
>> correlational studies that test well defined theoretical models. (b)
>> Comprehensive reports of longitudinal studies which can be up to
>> 80-90
>> manuscript pages. (c) Theoretical papers and comprehensive reviews

>> *June 30 - July 2, 2008
>> Columbia University School of Social Work
>>
>> The Columbia University Population Center is currently accepting
>> applications for the Fragile Families Summer Data Workshop. The
>> workshop is
>> designed to familiarize participants with the data available in the
>> Fragile
>> Families and Child Wellbeing Study, especially the 5 year follow-up
>> data
>> which will become publicly available in summer 2008. The national
>> study
>> follows a birth cohort of (mostly) unmarried parents and their
>> children,
>> providing information about the capabilities, circumstances, and
>> relationships of unwed parents, the wellbeing of their children,
>> and the
>> role of public policy in family formation and parent and child
>> wellbeing.
>>
>> The workshop is targeted toward young scholars from various social
>> science
>> disciplines, including advanced graduate students, postdoctoral
>> fellows, and
>> junior faculty. Applicants must possess basic quantitative data
>> analysis
>> skills. Ethnic minorities are particularly encouraged to apply.
>> About 25-30
>> applicants will be selected. Travel costs for out-of-town
>> participants will
>> be reimbursed up to $750.00. (Rooms will be available at $95 and
>> $190 per
>> night).

>> * Archives Jean Piaget
>> **18th Advanced Training Course
>> *Cognitive Development, Mechanisms and Constraints
>> July 3-5, 2008
>>
>> The *Archives Jean Piaget *organize July 3-5, 2008 their*18th
>> Advanced
>> Course*. The aim of this biannualconference is to group the best
>> specialists
>> of a domain around a topic that has a particular relevance for Jean
>> Piaget's
>> theory and developmental psychology. One of the most important
>> aspects of
>> Piaget's legacy in the domain of developmental psychology has
>> probably been
>> the theories known as the "neo-piagetian" theories. Among the new
>> proposals
>> and ideas these theories put forward, the idea that cognitive
>> development is
>> underpinned by some increase in cognitive resources, mental power or
>> attentional capacity is of particular relevance when considering the
>> importance of the concept of *cognitivere sources *and *working
>> memory
>> *capacity
>> in the contemporary psychology. Thus, the next Advanced Course is
>> entitled *Cognitive
>> development, mechanisms and constraints*. Its objective is to gather
>> prominent theorists in the field of cognitive development within a
>> neo-piagetian perspective with specialists of the development of
>> working
>> memory, attention and executive functions.
>>
>> The Advanced Course is open to any scholar, researcher or student
>> interested
>> in cognitive development, working memory and executive functions
>> who are
>> invited to submit *posters* related to these topics.
