Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat. Theodore Roosevelt

Mission statement

We are a scientific research team interested in human cognitive development from infancy to early childhood. Our team members include faculty, postdoctoral research fellows, graduate and undergraduate students, as well as research staff. Our research aims at understanding how we learn remarkable cognitive and social skills as we grow up. We hope that by working together, we can identify the processes that shape human cognitive development and offer empirical proof to help resolve social problems and address impairments brought on by abnormal development.
