- Perception and Attention
Our methods are inherently interdisciplinary, with faculty and students often working across areas of the department and sometimes across departments. Methodological strengths include, but are not limited to:
- Behavioral Experimentation
- Computational Modeling
- Comparative Cognition
- Cognitive Development
- Philosophical Psychology
