COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT LABORATORY

This project consisted of a comprehensive renovation that converted a previously uninhabitable basement space into a psychology laboratory for Professor Kristina Olson of the Department of Psychology (now at the University of Washington). Designed to provide a quiet familiar space with concealed cameras to record interview and play behavior, the lab supports a research program that combines the theories and methods of social psychology with those of cognitive development to investigate the emergence and development of social cognition in young children.
