Overview

The Computation, Learning, and Development Lab aims to understand developmental changes in value-guided learning, memory, and exploration from childhood to early adulthood. We use behavioral studies, computational modeling, and fMRI to address questions about how and why learning processes change over time and through experience, and what the consequences of those changes are for goal-directed behavior. Undergraduate research assistants typically work closely with a more senior lab member to recruit and screen participants, review literature, design and program experimental tasks, analyze data, and prepare findings for presentation and publication. Most of our research involves computer programming but we are open to students of all backgrounds.

Please note: The lab is currently seeking undergraduate first-years, sophomores, and juniors who are able to commit ~5 – 10 hours / week for the year. We are not accepting seniors or masters students into the lab at this time.
