LABS

♦ Center for Early Childhood Research

Dr. Levine's research examines how variations in home and school input affect the cognitive development of children, including language, spatial and mathematical skills. She also examines plasticity of language and cognitive skills following early brain injury.

Center for Early Childhood Research is at: Department of Psychology, University of Chicago

Lab Director: Susan Levine

♦ ChatLab of Cognitive Neurology

Our major emphasis is on the study of attention, perception, and language. The research is conducted by studying patients with selective deficits following brain damage and using functional neuroimaging in normal subjects.

ChatLab of Cognitive Neurology is at: Center for Cognitive Neuroscience, University of Pennsylvania.

Lab Director: Anjan Chatterjee

♦ Cognition and Language Lab

Northwestern University researchers in the Cognition and Language Lab are currently conducting research on the effects of analogy and similarity on learning.

Cognition and Language Lab is at: Department of Psychology, Northwestern University.

Lab Director: Dedre Gentner

♦ Comprehension, Motivation and Cognition (CMAC) Lab

The Comprehension, Motivation, and Cognition Lab (CMAC). The CMAC Lab, headed by Jennifer Cromley, Ph.D. and Research Coordinator Theodore Wills, Ph.D., includes three sponsored research projects. The 21st Century Center for Cognition and Science Instruction is a national Center that is conducting a randomized controlled trial of middle school science curriculum modifications. Teaching Effective Use of Diagrammatic Reasoning in Biology is an experimental study comparing four methods of teaching high school biology students to reason with diagrams. A multimethod approach to understanding dropout from STEM gateway courses is a longitudinal, multimethod study of undergraduate dropout from chemistry and biology majors.

Comprehension, Motivation and Cognition (CMAC) Lab is at: Temple University.

Lab Directors: Jennifer G. Cromley and Research Coordinator, Theodore Wills

♦ Epstein Lab

All mobile organisms must represent the space around them if they are to successfully move and act in the world. In our lab, we use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and behavioral testing to uncover the mechanisms that support spatial representation in humans. We are particularly interested in representations that are critical for navigation, such as representations of places (particular locations in the world) and scenes (i.e. the set of visual inputs observed when in a particular place).

Epstein Lab is at: Center for Cognitive Neuroscience, University of Pennsylvania

Lab Director: Russell A. Epstein

♦ Goldin-Meadow Laboratory

It is commonly asked whether language is learned or innate. In my research, I recast the question so that it is amenable to investigation. I ask which aspects of language development are more (or less) sensitive to linguistic and environmental input. Specifically, I have been engaged in a research program to identify the properties of language whose development can withstand wide variations in learning conditions - the "resilient" properties of language.
Another facet of my work explores the spontaneous gestures that hearing adults and children produce as they speak.

Goldin-Meadow Laboratory is at: Department of Psychology, University of Chicago

Lab Director: Susan Goldin-Meadow

♦ Human Performance Lab

Broadly speaking, work in our lab investigates the cognitive and neural substrates governing the learning and performance of complex cognitive skills (e.g., math problem solving) and complex sensorimotor skills (e.g., golf putting). We are interested in understanding the attention and memory processes that support task execution, as well as how high-pressure or high-stakes situations impact performance. Together, our work demonstrates how task type and skill level differences in the attentional demands of performance can be used to understand the nature of successful skill execution and why, at times, it fails to occur.

Human Performance Lab is at: University of Chicago

Lab Director: Sian Beilock

♦ Infant Cognition Lab

How do children develop? At the Northwestern University Infant Cognition Laboratory, we study how children learn to perceive and reason about the world around them. Our studies have shown that babies know much more than people once thought. We study topics like how infants remember objects, how children learn new words, how babies and children understand numbers, and more.

Infant Cognition Lab is at: Department of Psychology, Northwestern University

Lab Director: Sue Hespos

♦ Neurocognition Laboratory

Broadly, research in the Neurocognition Laboratory employs a cognitive neuroscientific approach to evaluate alternative theoretical claims surrounding the basic mechanisms of cognition, the relationship among these mechanisms, and the contribution each makes to high-level cognitive function. The lab employs functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in combination with traditional behavioral measures to test hypotheses regarding working memory, decision making, and cognitive control.

Neurocognition Laboratory is at: Department of Psychology, Temple University

Lab Director: Jason Chein

♦ Project on Children's Thinking

The Project on Children's Thinking studies the development of children's thought and language. We study how children come to know about the world, with a focus on how their growing insight into linguistic and conceptual structures influences their patterns of learning and reasoning.
One major focus of our research is how children come to learn about spatial relations and how this understanding affects their reasoning. We also study how language can help children think relationally at a younger age than they might otherwise.

Project on Children's Thinking is at: Department of Psychology, Northwestern University

Lab Director: Dedre Gentner

♦ Qualitative Reasoning Group

The Qualitative Reasoning Group conducts research on: Qualitative representations and reasoning, Sketch understanding, Analogical reasoning and learning, Learning by reading, and How our progress in AI and cognitive science can be used to create new kinds of systems for education, performance support, and interactive entertainment.
Our research includes both efforts to create new kinds of cognitive systems, and to model human cognition.

Qualitative Reasoning Group is at: Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Northwestern University

Lab Director: Kenneth Forbus

♦ Reading Comprehension Laboratory

Members of the Reading Comprehension Laboratory at Northwestern University examine the ways in which prior knowledge, unfolding discourse, and learner strategies interactively influence reading experiences. This has involved examination of the cognitive mechanisms that underlie learning from text, as well as the products that remain in memory after reading is completed. Recent extensions of this work have targeted (a) the remediation of struggling readers’ difficulties, (b) the development of computational simulations of reading activity, and (c) the application of discourse models towards understanding broader sets of experiences, including map comprehension and procedural learning with multimedia presentations.

♦ Research in Spatial Cognition Lab (RISC)

Spatial thinking is both a key intellectual issue in cognitive science and a critically important aspect of problem solving in science, engineering and mathematics. Spatial intelligence allows us to encode and transform information about objects and their location, and thus to find our way in the world and perform technical activities such as tool making. Beyond its direct applications in navigation and spatial manipulation, it also provides the foundation for a wide range of reasoning and communication skills, as varied as the design of buildings, the solution of mathematics problems, and the use of spatial metaphor in everyday language. The overarching goal of the RISC Lab is to understand spatial learning and cognition and how they can be fostered by effective technology and education.

Research in Spatial Cognition Lab (RISC) is at: Department of Psychology, Temple University

SILC Faculty associated with RISC: Jason Chein, Jennifer Cromley, Kathy Hirsh-Pasek, Nora S. Newcombe, Thomas F. Shipley & Russell Epstein.

Lab Administrator: Adrienne Larmett

♦ Temple Infant Lab

Join us in discovering how children from 5 months to 6 years learn about the world they live in. Our labs conduct cutting-edge research on spatial develoment, memory, language development, reading and the role of play in learning.

Temple Infant Lab is at: Department of Psychology, Temple University

Lab Directors: Nora Newcombe and Kathy Hirsh-Pasek

♦ (David H.) Uttal Lab

The overarching goal of our research is to investigate how people perceive and understand the world around them. Perception and conceptualization undergo a number of changes as children grow and develop. By approaching our investigation from a developmental perspective, we hope to acquire a richer understanding of these processes and of cognition in general. Further, in studying cognitive development we recognize that our work has important implications for education. Thus, we also strive to understand what makes certain educational programs and tools effective in the light of cognitive theories and processes.

David H. Uttal Lab is at: The Department of Psychology, The Cognitive Psychology Program, Northwestern University

Lab Director: David H. Uttal

♦ Vision Lab

Dr. Shipley's research interests include object, motion, and event perception, as well as spatial cognition, interactions between perception and spatial knowledge, and perceptual learning. Current research projects include: Biological Motion, Illusory Contours and Apparent Motion.

The Vision Lab is at: The Department of Psychology, Temple University

Lab Director: Thomas Shipley

♦ Visual Attention and Cognition Lab

Our research focuses on the tools that we use to select visual information, and how these tools are applied. How much of selection is automatic, and how much is under our control? Can we select more than one thing at a time? How do we maintain selection of an object when it moves?
We also study processes that support and interact with visual selection. These processes include visual memory, which helps us store what we have selected in the past, object tracking, which helps us maintain selection of moving objects, and number perception, which relies on selection mechanisms to construct the units underlying the counting process.
