Cognition and Development (Psychology)

The Program in Cognition and Development at Emory approaches the study of cognition from multiple perspectives including adult and child behavioral perspectives, neuroimaging and neuroscientific perspectives, computational perspectives, and social/situated perspectives.

The Cognition and Development Program’s multi-faceted training features the following:

• All core graduate courses are co-taught by a faculty member who studies adult cognition and a faculty member who studies cognitive developmen.
• The program covers four core areas of study: Perceptual Cognition, Conceptual Processes, Language, and Memory.
• Students and faculty attend and participate in a variety of talks and research groups designed to foster interaction across labs and experimental approaches.

We train students for research and teaching at the forefront of cognition and its development providing them with the professional skills necessary for careers in academic research and teaching institutions, as well as in other public and private research settings.
