The Early Childhood Cognition Lab, led by Dr. Lili Ma, studies how children learn, think, and make sense of the world around them. We conduct research with children between the ages of 3 and 16 to better understand how they develop socially and cognitively. We examine how they form beliefs, understand others’ thoughts, and learn new information.  We value the participation of families in our research and are committed to creating a fun, safe, and engaging experience for every child who participates in our research.
