I'm interested if SCRD is interested. I haven't been involved or any
way engaged in this organization so maybe you're in a better position
to assess whether we would want to put together something on issues/
work we've been talking about here and at AERA — whether it be play,
performance, outside of school learning/development — that would draw
interest at this conference.

>
> 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

> Cognitive/Socioemotional Development. Calls for contributions to

> diverse methods including multivariate, longitudinal, demographic,

> and studies of gender, ethnic, and racial diversity are of particular

> 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
> of the
> literature similar to papers published in *Psychological Review* and

> * 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.
