Ageliki Nicolopolou is also interested and the common theme of play easily
suggests itself. Martin Packer and Jorge Larreamendy are thinking about
cooking
up something around kids activities (I believe). But SRCD has not been kind
to us in organizing symposia recently, so to make the effort worthwhile, we
would
need a strong lineup. Uncertain how to mesh things optimally.

>> *Editorial Transition at Child Development*
>>
>> July 1, 2007 marked the date when the new Incoming Editor and Associate
>> Editors assumed the helm at *Child Development*. Incoming Associate
>> Editors
>> Margaret Burchinal, John Colombo, Michael Cunningham, Mary Dozier, Andrew
>> Fuligni, Mary Gauvain, Roberta Golinkoff, Nancy G. Guerra, D. Geoffrey
>> Hall,
>> 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
>> revisions of papers that were initially processed by them.)
>>
>> 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 well. Look
>> for these changes when the first issue under our editorship appears in
>> 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 Social
>> Cognitive Neuroscience. Nathan Fox and Sir Michael Rutter will be
>> co-editing
>> a special section on the Effects of Early Experience on
>> Cognitive/Socioemotional Development. Calls for contributions to these and
>> future special sections have been posted on the *CD* website and will
>> appear
>> in upcoming issues of *SRCD Monthly E-news*, which is sent electronically
>> to
>> all SRCD members. Contributions to Special Sections and Issues are welcome
>> from all investigators.
>>
>> Finally, I would like to remind all readers of *Child Development* that we
>> welcome your participation as a reviewer for the journal. We are proud of
>> the constructive feedback that authors receive from our reviewers and
>> invite
>> you to contribute to the process. Professionals from all disciplines in
>> the
>> developmental sciences are encouraged to become involved. If you have not
>> already registered in our reviewer database and would like to be
>> considered
>> as a potential reviewer for the journal, you may sign up at
>> www.srcd.org/CDsubmit/<

>> your information by visiting the same website.

>> working with you during the new editorial term.

>> Because the goal of the journal is to provide accessible articles that are
>> easily assimilated, articles will be short and, when accepted, will
>> undergo
>> copyediting procedures designed to enhance the degree to which articles
>> communicate to individuals who are not specialists on the targeted topic.
>> Most manuscripts, including author-initiated ones, should be a maximum of
>> 3000 words, * not *including the cover page, abstract, tables, figures, or
>> references. Although there is no set limit on references, they should not
>> be
>> excessive. On occasion, somewhat longer papers will be invited for
>> submission, with the goal of obtaining short accompanying commentaries.
>> Invited commentary typically will be approximately 1000 words.
>> Commentaries
>> are expected to be stimulating, informative, and to be constructive in
>> their
>> tone. Please contact the *CDP* Office with any questions at cdp@srcd.org.
>>
>> * CDP* 's mission is to provide accessible, synthetic reports that
>> summarize
>> emerging trends or conclusions within various domains of developmental
>> research and to encourage multidisciplinary and international dialogue on
>> a
>> variety of topics in the developmental sciences.
>>
>> The journal is designed to serve multiple audiences. The main audience is
>> expected to be SRCD members and other developmental scientists who try to
>> stay abreast of our field's progress in areas outside their specialties. A
>> second anticipated audience is consumers of research, including
>> policymakers, instructors, and professionals who work with children in
>> clinical or intervention settings who need access to succinct and
>> accessible
>> scientific summaries of developmental research. In recognition of the
>> multidisciplinary and international scope of SRCD, contributors from a
>> variety of disciplines and countries will be included. In addition, our
>> goal
>> is to include articles reflecting SRCD's commitment to cultural and
>> contextual diversity and application of science to policy.
>>
>> Articles in the journal will include reviews, commentary, policy- or
>> research-related essays, and groups of papers on a targeted issue.
>> Manuscripts presenting new empirical data are not appropriate for this
>> journal (although a line of published research can be reviewed). Potential
>> contributors who have ideas about a set of three or four papers written
>> from
>> very different perspectives (e.g., a set of papers on a topic that
>> includes
>> authors from different disciplines and countries) may contact the editor
>> with their ideas for feedback. All manuscripts will undergo a review
>> process, although this process may be more abbreviated for some types of
>> submissions (e.g., commentary) than others (e.g., author-initiated
>> submissions).
>>
>> Please contact Nancy Eisenberg ( nancy.eisenberg@asu.edu) with specific

>>
>> *Effective January 1, 2006, all manuscripts submitted to *SRCD
>> Monographs *should
>> be submitted electronically to the SRCD *Monographs *Online Submissions
>> and
>> Review Site at www.srcd.org/monosubmit. In addition, please send 4 hard
>> copies, double-spaced throughout, to *Monographs*, 2950 S. State Street,

>> correspondence is deposited in the archives of the SRCD. Please contact
>> the
>> *Monographs* Office with any questions at monographs@srcd.org.
>>
>> * Monographs* publishes major reports of developmental research that
>> generates authoritative new findings and uses these to foster a fresh
>> perspective on, or integration of, conceptually significant issues.
>> Manuscripts reporting interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary research on
>> significant developmental questions and those including evidence from
>> diverse cultural, racial, ethnic, national, or other contexts are of
>> particular interest. Interested persons may consult the SRCD website for
>> further details.
>>
>> The incoming Editor, W. Andrew Collins, strongly encourages potential
>> authors to contact him regarding ideas for *Monograph* submissions and to
>> submit an informal prospectus before preparing and submitting manuscripts.

>> *JRA Call for Submissions*
>>
>> We invite submissions to the Journal of Research on Adolescence * (JRA)*.
>> The * JRA *presents empirical and theoretical papers focused on
>> development
>> during adolescence and early adulthood. Studies are featured 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 qualitative and
>> multi-method research reports, practice-based, policy-oriented research
>> evaluations and reports, and studies related to biological 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 of the
>> literature similar to papers published in *Psychological Review* and
>> *Psychological
>> Bulletin. *

>> analysis in research on human development. Some papers will be brief
>> primers
>> on cutting edge developmental methodologies. Others will be archival
>> descriptions of procedures and instruments. Still others will be empirical
>> studies that illustrate unique advances in statistics or measurement.
>> Primers on new techniques and procedures are welcome. Manuscripts should
>> be
>> written for an audience of developmental scholars. Submissions must be
>> brief, ranging in length from 15 to 25 manuscript pages, inclusive. Submit
>> manuscripts via the journal submission portal at

>> * 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.
