Associate in Research Early Childhood Cognition Lab at Duke / Dr. Tamar Kushnir Department of Psychology & Neuroscience Overview The Early Childhood Cognition Lab at Duke University is interested in the inherently active, playful, and socially-guided ways young children learn about the world around them. We are also interested in the various beliefs that children form about the world -- their intuitive "theories" -- and the ways that these beliefs are shaped by children's engagement with their social and cultural environments. Our lab takes an interdisciplinary approach, drawing on theoretical insights from machine learning, philosophy, evolutionary biology, and cultural psychology to inform questions central to how we think and learn. The Associate in Research will help conduct research on learning and social cognition in children across ages and cultures. Along with key responsibilities managing and overseeing the lab’s project leads and undergraduate research assistants, they will assist on multiple projects with children ranging from 2-10 years old, in community, school, and laboratory settings.
