Science of Development Lab

At the Science of Development Lab, we ask questions about how children and families learn and develop. We study different areas of development, including language, mathematics, and executive functioning.

Students may become involved in a variety of different projects, including coding and analyzing parent-child interactions and conducting studies examining children’s learning.
