Overview
Research
Research within Developmental Science makes use of a variety of methodologies and comparative approaches, including: psychophysics, eye-tracking, standardized testing, EEG, fMRI, and computational modeling; cross-cultural studies; and both behavioral testing and neuroimaging with nonhuman animals (for example: monkeys, dogs, voles).
The presence of a vibrant and active community of researchers, interested in all aspects of developmental science, enables students at Emory University to construct a highly individualized program of study tailored to their specific interests.
Programme Structure
What you will study:
- Graduate Students in the Developmental Science (DS) concentration seek to understand the origins and development of the human mind and brain by investigating the ontogenetic and phylogenetic underpinnings of social and cognitive processes, as well as the development and learning that accompany these processes.
- Students in Developmental Science study a wide range of populations, including typically-developing children of all ages (infants, preschoolers, school-aged children, adolescents) and adults, as well as atypical populations (for example; autism spectrum disorder and Williams syndrome).
