About Us
Our research is devoted to learning about mathematical development throughout life, with a focus on early childhood. Using both cognitive and social perspectives, we hope to better understand the various contributors to mathematical ability. Our participants can range from two-year-olds to adults, though many are in the Pre-K to Elementary School age range.Research Topics
- Numerical development
- Relation between spatial and numerical skills
- Development of math anxieties and stereotypes
