Cognition, Affect, & Temperament Laboratory

About us...

At the Cognition, Affect & Temperament Laboratory, our research focuses on the ways in which emotion and attention interact to shape how individuals navigate through their social world.  We do this through biological measures, self-report questionnaires, and observations of behavior in our laboratory.  Our main focus is on the interaction between temperament, early appearing biases in emotion, and attention in children and adults.
