The Lifespan Cognition Lab
What We Do...
The Lifespan Cognition Lab conducts research on cognitive and developmental psychology – how thinking changes and develops across the lifespan. Our most recent areas of research involve perspective taking and theory of mind, memory, false memories, meta-cognition, and hindsight bias. We are also interested in mild head injury, sleep, and dreams.
