Computational Cognitive Development Lab

Check out our lab's posters and talk at the Cognitive Development Society conference this Friday, April 10th and Saturday, April 11th!

Have a spook-tastic time with Halloween activities! Be sure to stop by our craft table at the Brown St Park Halloween Parade (Brown Street Park) this Friday at 3:30pm to hear about the fun research games we're offering this fall!

Let's welcome our first-year graduate student, Zory! Before coming to Brown, he received his bachelor degree at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.

Zory is intrigued by how children eventually learn so much about the world so quickly without even realizing they are learning (e.g., concepts that "carve nature at its joints", the specific ways agents are driven by their beliefs and desires, or their native languages). He is particularly interested in the puzzle of why children are sometimes more flexible learners than adults, readily revising their beliefs, yet at other times seem to arbitrarily firmly believe.

Besides research, Zory like to cook, learn figure skating, ride my bike, watch shows, and occasionally do drama-related stuff.
