Learning & Memory

In Learning & Memory research, scientists draw on methods of cognitive neuroscience to explore how people learn about their environments and form and store memories. Specific areas of study include basic learning systems in the brain (see Fiez), the impact of early life stress on brain circuitry (see Hanson), and the relationship between working memory, attention, and mathematical abilities (see Libertus), see also Parent-child Interaction is Important for Effective Early Math Intervention.

Additional topics include causal learning, reasoning, and judgment (see Rottman), identifying information in activity patterns of the cortex (see Schneider and Coutanche), and the cognitive science of reading and language processes (see Warren, Tokowicz, and Perfetti).
