    The Cognition Across Development (CAD) Laboratory at Boston University in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences explores the development of social cognition. Our research examines how young children make sense of and cope with the complex social world around them. The goal of our research in the CAD Lab is to better understand how early emerging aspects of cognition and perception help an individual thrive in their particular environment.
