Developmental and educational science group
Investigating the development of the psychological process from infancy to adolescence.
Primary page content
Our research group investigates investigates the development of psychological process from infancy to adolescence. We use our research to inform our scientific understanding of development, and to support the application of concepts from developmental science to the real-world (e.g. in schools).
We conduct scientific research into the development of cognitive, perceptual, social and emotional processes from infancy into childhood and adolescence.
Group members focus on how concepts from developmental science can be applied to further the healthy development of individuals from typical and atypical populations.
