Cognitive Development
The study of cognition in infants, children, and adults and of cognitive
development serves as a focal point for several faculty members' research
programs. Research topics include attention, memory, intelligence, reasoning and
decision-making, causal understanding, categorization, and language development.
In addition, for several faculty members, research on cognition and cognitive
development includes the recognition that cognition intersects with aspects of
social and emotional development and also that it often varies across contexts.
Faculty members rely on a set of diverse methodological approaches in their
teaching and research.
