The Lifespan Cognition Lab conducts research on cognitive and developmental psychology. Other areas of research include false memory, memory, and sleep.
In the Lifespan Cognition Lab, we research children's and adults' cognition and development – how their thinking develops. We want to know how people learn to take other people's perspectives and how this changes over time in typical and atypical populations (e.g., mild head injury, autism, etc.).
Try this Stroop Challenge and see how quickly your brain gets tripped up.

Ever had that feeling where something just… isn’t right?
