Childrens' Research Lab

The Developmental Psychology Program is designed to provide students with a broad academic and research background in developmental psychology and special competence in at least one sub-area (e.g., social development, cognitive development). The program is oriented toward the examination of basic research and theoretical issues, although this can be combined with work on applied problems. Students are expected to be actively involved in research from the time they enter the program. The program is designed for students whose primary interest is in development rather than for those who have peripheral interests in developmental questions within some specific content area.

Much of the research conducted by the faculty and graduate students in the Developmental Program occurs at the Children's Research Laboratory, a facility containing observation and testing rooms, as well as offices, meeting rooms, and a library. In addition, the Developmental Program is affiliated with the Institute of Human Development and Family Studies. The Institute promotes interdisciplinary research into contemporary problems of human development.
