WorlD
In the project WorlD, we examine the role working memory plays for learning to read, write and calculate in children with intellectual disabilities.
World Vision Children Study
What does it mean to grow up in Germany? In order to answer this question children as agents of their own lives are asked qualitatively and quantitatively about the main topics of child well-being, child poverty, and justice, as well as flight and migration.
Wurmloch
The idea of the ‘wormhole’ is often used in science fiction to visualise different dimensions of a plot.
In this pilot study with pre-school and primary school children, we try to transfer this idea to the development of knowledge of meaning.
For example, how do environmental changes relate to the development of semantic knowledge?
zEbra
The zEbra project focuses on the relationships between the use of social media and the well-being of children and adolescents. Measurement tools are being developed to validly record the smartphone use of different media and online social interactions of young people aged 10-14.
