About Yale Cognition & Development Lab: – To quote the research questions the lab dabbles in – “Work in the Cognition and Development lab most broadly is concerned with questions of how children and adults construct causal interpretations of the world around them and how those interpretations compare to other ways of tracking information. This orientation leads naturally to questions of how adults and children cognitively reduce the enormous causal complexity of the world to a more manageable forms and what distortions of that information occur as it is necessarily simplified.“
