The Lifespan Cognition Lab



What We Do...

The Lifespan Cognition Lab conducts research on cognitive and developmental psychology โ€“ 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.

What is theory of mind?

The ability to understand otherโ€™s mental states (e.g., thoughts, beliefs, feelings).

What is a false memory?

A memory that seems real in your mind but is partially or fully fabricated.

What is meta-cognition?

An awareness and understanding of oneโ€™s own thought processes.
