Webinar | SPRINT France have an interesting online webinar to join on April 4th April, 2024, 7.40PM (PARIS TIME) Title: Beyond Empathy: Understanding how cognition shapes altruistic behavior development We often expect children to help, share, comfort others, or at the very least hope they will. Yet how do these prosocial behaviors develop? Is it really all about empathy? (Spoiler: it isn’t!). This discussion will focus on how altruistic and prosocial behavior develop in childhood, why it’s essential to consider the role of cognitive processes including attention, inhibitory control and perspective-taking, and how we can best support children in building their prosocial identity. Lucie Rose, Ph.D.Neuropsychologist & Postdoctoral researcher Please complete the google form for access registration and zoom link. |
