Congratulations to Katherine Whitaker, an undergraduate research assistant in the ICL, for successfully defending her Psychology Honors Thesis!

This semester we welcomed two new undergraduate research assistants, Ashley Coulter and Olivia Richards!

Below are their short bios -

From Ashley:

My name is Ashley Coulter, and I am a junior Psychology major, with minors in Creative Writing and Sociocultural Anthropology. After undergrad, I plan on getting my PhD in Developmental Psychology, with a focus on younger children. In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with my friends, reading, writing, and going to the gym.

From Olivia:

My name is Olivia Richards and I am a sophomore Psychology major. After I complete my undergrad, I hope to take a year to travel and get some work experience before going back to school for a PsyD in clinical psychology. I am very interested in child and adolescent development and mental health and hope to specialize in this, and maybe one day have my own practice. I love going to concerts, exploring new cities, going to the gym, and hanging out with my bunny, Crunch!

Congratulations to our undergraduate research assistant Mallory Thompson for successfully defending her Honors Thesis!

Happy Holidays from the ICL!
We hope you have a happy & healthy holiday season!❄️

As the semester comes to a close we’re looking forward to some time off to rest & recharge!
The Infant Cognition Lab will be closed beginning tomorrow afternoon (Dec 17) until the first week of January. Stay tuned for exciting things coming next semester!

Meet Kaelin Kinney, our newest graduate student!
Kaelin joined our lab in August of this year and we are so glad to have her! Kaelin's current research interests include infant cognition and developmental disabilities. In her free time, she loves practicing agility with her dog (Cupcake, pictured here!), cuddling with her cats, hiking, and spending time with family.

Happy Thanksgiving!
We’re thankful for all our lab members and all the families that make our research possible!
