Invited lecture by Kang Lee (University of Toronto) -- January 5, 2023
How do infants acquire words and their meanings?
Chair: Gergely Csibra

In this talk, I will discuss the work we have been doing for nearly 30 years about how children learn to tell lies from as early as 2 years of age. I will focus on evidence regarding the normative development of lying in childhood and factors that contribute or do not contribute to this development. What I will show is that the development of lying is not a process by which children learn to apply their moral knowledge to practice but rather a process by which children marshal the available cognitive resources to make adaptive behavioral decisions when facing social challenges. When time permits, I will also discuss a new imaging technology called transdermal optical imaging that we invented to use smartphones to detect children’s lies remotely and contactlessly, and its applications in psychological, educational, and health research and practice.
