These fellows will work one-on-one with faculty members in our labs on projects exploring the impact of socio-emotional context on social and cognitive functioning. The projects span various subdisciplines within Psychology (social, developmental, cognitive, neuroscience) and use diverse methodological approaches (e.g., behavioral, fMRI, computational, self-report), offering a broad yet intensive research experience.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-892 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.rutgers.edu\/cares\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1071\/2025\/10\/download-300x149.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"149\" height=\"74\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.rutgers.edu\/cares\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1071\/2025\/10\/download-300x149.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sites.rutgers.edu\/cares\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1071\/2025\/10\/download.jpeg 318w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 149px) 100vw, 149px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"x_x_elementToProof\" style=\"text-align: right\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Psychology Department at Rutgers\u2013Newark has selected the following fellows for a 1-year, National Science Foundation funded internship, directed by Dr. Vanessa LoBue and Dr. Mauricio Delgado, designed for undergraduate &hellip;
