My lab goal is to understand and improve children's learning of mathematics. We combine educational, developmental psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and computational models. Current projects cover cognition and cognitive development with a focus on the effects of developmental, cultural and societal contexts. The labs work includes collaborations with researchers from Mathematics Education to Public Health. See lab webpage for more info.
