Cognitive Development Lab
Welcome to the lab website! Our lab is affiliated with the University of Houston, Department of Psychology. We are conducting various studies concerning how children's understanding of the world changes over time. Particularly, we study infant's and children's language learning as a tool to deepen our understanding of the learning processes. We welcome children who are themselves growing scientists to help us get more insight into these processes.
The Cognitive Development Lab is currently accepting graduate students for Fall 2025. For more information, please visit the Department of Psychology's admissions policy page.
