According to Nebraska researcher Victoria Molfese, there is more happening in babies’ minds than meets the eye. Molfese’s research on newborn language development is one topic of her April 3 Nebraska Lecture at the UNL. The free public lecture is at 3 p.m. in the Nebraska Union auditorium, 1400 R St., with a reception following.
Molfese, an expert in cognitive development of infants, children and adults, said research on childhood reading has advanced at a rapid pace during the past 30 years. The result is an ever-growing volume of information that may overwhelm parents, teachers, administrators and policymakers who deal with reading impairments at a practical level. In her lecture, Molfese will simplify the evidence and promote effective strategies for reading intervention.
