Meet the labs!
Cognition and Learning Center
The Cognition and Learning Center (CALC) is led by Dr. Jenny Jinjing Wang. We study how our mind works and how it develops, such as how we understand concepts like “red,” “friend,” and “42.” Specifically, we are interested in how children construction mathematical thoughts and what intuitive beliefs they have about the world.
