Cognition, Development and Learning Lab
The UCD Cognition, Development and Learning Lab is led by Assistant Professor and Ad Astra Fellow, Katie Gilligan-Lee. Our research focuses on how an understanding of cognitive development can be used to inform and improve education throughout childhood (birth-12 years). Our research extends to children with both typical and atypical development.
The lab has a particular interest in spatial cognition (understanding features of objects and their relations with one another) and in improving children's Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) outcomes. We use a range of methodological approaches including: secondary analysis of nationally representative cohort study data; meta-analyses; cross-sectional experimental-based approaches to studying development; intervention-based research; neuroimaging; and qualitative approaches (e.g., children's drawings, interviews).
