We have a strong translational research perspective with the goal of developing theoretically driven assessment and interventions for children that will best support them in achieving their full potential. We explore typical and atypical development using a diverse range of methods, including controlled experiments, longitudinal studies, surveys, case studies, observational research, and electrophysiological techniques. This approach allows us to capture a broad view of psychological processes in both real-world and controlled settings.
