Bennett Lab
Gary Bennett
 New media obesity interventions
Social factors and disparities in obesity
Disseminating evidence-based interventions

Boundaries of Social Cognition Lab
Lasana Harris

Investigates the malleability of social cognition and its neural correlates, utilizing perception, memory and attention paradigms, manipulation of social and object categories and affect with static and dynamic visual stimuli, psycho-physiological recording of the galvanic skin reflex (GSR), eye movement, facial electromyography (EMG), and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
Brannon Lab
Elizabeth Brannon
The development and evolution of numerical cognition
CabezaLab
Roberto Cabeza
Cognitive neuroscience of memory by using functional MRI (fMRI) to examine the neural correlates of episodic memory
Child Learning Lab
Amy Joh
Explore the role of learning in cognitive and motor development.
Cognitive & Neural Timing Systems Laboratory
Warren Meck
The research interests of the lab include the neuroanatomical and neuropharmacological basis of timing and time perception in the seconds-to-minutes range. Another major focus for our research uses animal models to study developmental periods of dietary choline sensitivity that provide an ontogene
Computational Neuroscience Lab
Nestor Schmajuk
Develop and test computational models of classical and operant conditioning, causal learning, spatial learning, reasoning, and creativity.
Cooper Lab
Harris Cooper
 Research follows two paths:
1. How research syntheses can best be carried out and how their results can be communicated to general audiences as well as scholars.
2. The application of social and developmental psychology to educational policy issues.
Curry Lab
John Curry
Development and evaluation of interventions for adolescent depression and substance abuse;  Assessment of personality variables associated with adolescent and adult adaptation.
Developmental Neuroimmunology Lab
Staci Bilbo
How the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems interact, and how this communication influences behavior
Duke Visual Cognition Lab
Stephen Mitroff
The nature of 'visual cognition' - the relationship between what we see and what we know.
Egner Lab
Tobias Egner

Hoyle Lab
Rick Hoyle
Research primarily concerns the basic cognitive, affective, and social processes involved in self-regulation.
Language Development
Reiko Mazuka
The Language Development Lab investigates how young infants become interested in speech that surround them, and learn to be the speaker of that language.
Marsh Lab
Elizabeth Marsh
The Marsh Lab focuses on understanding learning and memory,
and the processes that make memory accurate in some cases and
erroneous in others.

Medical Cognition Lab
Ruth Day

The Medical Cognition Laboratory studies how people find, understand, remember, and use medical information. The basic approach has the following characteristics.
Memory for Movement Lab
Ruth Day
How dancers and athletes learn and remember sequences of movement.

Noetics Group
David Rubin
Autobiographical memory, which refers to the retrieval of events from ones own life or what we typically think of as memory.
Pediatric Psychology Lab
Melanie Bonner
 

The Pediatric Psychology research program is broadly focused on quality of life issues, including neurocognitive functioning and psychosocial outcomes, in pediatric patients with chronic illness.

Putallaz Lab
Martha Putallaz

Putallaz's research focuses on the mutual influence of parents and peers on the
development and evolution of children's social competency, social relationships,
and psychopathology.
Richman Lab
Laura Richman
Research program focuses on the experience of prejudice, stereotyping, and discrimination.

Makeba Wilbourn

How children learn language and how different modes of input, such as gestures, may influence early language and cognitive development.

Yin Lab
Henry Yin
Understanding the mechanisms of goal-directed behavior is perhaps the outstanding scientific challenge of this century.
