Research

The Language and Cognition Lab at Teachers College examines:

1. Relationships between language and thought from both developmental and adult perspectives.
2. Numerical cognition and representation in adults.

The NCL Lab conducts research into how the brain handles language, literacy, and other cognitive demands, with an emphasis on issues of access, equity, and justice. 

Broadly, the center is interested in how early experiences lead to individual differences in child neurocognition. We use a variety of methods (standardized tests, MRI, home observation) and populations to investigate this topic.
