Developmental (psycho) linguists have demonstrated that perceiving talking faces audio-visually is important for early language acquisition. Using mostly well-controlled and screen-based laboratory approaches, this line of research has shown that paying attention to talking faces is likely to be one of the powerful strategies infants use to learn their native(s) language(s).

The Perry High/Scope Preschool Program: A Critique
Early Childhood Education programs aim at preventing educational delays associated with socio-ethnic disadvantage in the home environment of young children. Advocates claim that such programs can be effective, provided they are of high quality. Despite the investment of enormous budgets, the educational gap between socio-economically deprived families and their wealthier counterparts is still widening. The question therefore is justified whether these claims are warranted. This article focuses on the internal and external validity of the most cited preschool program, the High/Scope Perry Preschool Project, which was carried out between 1962 and 1967 in one school in Ypsilant, MI. Are the program's effects as reported by, e.g. Lawrence Schweinhart and James Heckman, reliable and valid? And is it really possible to generalize the findings of this so-called model program to other programs, target groups, settings and conditions, as is being claimed?

Competences 4.0
Most models classify competences 4.0 into 3 main categories: digital, social/emotional, and cognitive. However, analysis shows competences 4.0 are studied from isolated perspectives by different disciplines. There is no unified, comprehensive model. The researchers propose a more detailed model with 5 categories: psychosocial, metacognitive, linguistic, technical, and digital competences. Psychosocial competences include teamwork, leadership, flexibility, communication skills. Metacognitive competences involve learning ability, problem-solving, creativity, self-reflection. Linguistic competences relate to communication, foreign languages, interpretation, social skills. Technical competences cover specialized knowledge, data analysis, technology use. Digital competences involve information literacy, media skills, programming, cybersecurity. The model aims to be interdisciplinary and capture the complexity of competences needed for Industry 4.0.
