Cognitive Development Lab

Welcome to our Cognitive Development Lab website!

Our lab is affiliated with the University of Houston, Department of Psychology. The lab is conducting various studies concerning how children's understanding of the world changes over time. We particularly 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.

Our lab is supported by grants from:

• National Institute of Health
• Foundation for Child Development
• University of Houston’s Enhance and Advance Research (GEAR) program
