The purpose of this project is to develop high-quality educational videos depicting common developmental concepts. Visual explanations—like video clips—can depict crucial features that may be otherwise invisible or impossible to include, and promote student interest and learning. Common tasks—including conservation, theory of mind, and fine/gross motor skills—were filmed with children ages 1.5-6 years. Compiled videos showcase developmental differences in these abilities over time for widespread use in psychology classrooms to promote better learning.
