Current Projects 

Participants needed!

We are working alongside another research lab at Virginia Tech, the Cognitive Developmental Science Lab (CoDeS Lab) for a new project! We are recruiting children between 4 and 6 years old and their parents to participate in a fun visit to the Blacksburg campus of Virginia Tech, for one 75-minute session. See the flyer on the right for more details. If you would like more information, fill out the interest form here or email Dr. Koeun Choi (director of the CoDeS lab) at koeun@vt.edu.

About Us

In the Virginia Tech Learning and Development Lab,  we conduct research to understand mechanisms of learning and determine how to optimize the learning environment to improve children's understanding of key concepts. The lab's primary focus is within the domain of mathematical cognition in early and middle childhood. 

We are committed to conducting high-quality research and using what we learn from research to help children, families, and teachers. Our research has been funded by the National Science Foundation, the Society for Research in Child Development, and the EF+Math Program of the Advanced Education Research and Development Fund. You can find more information on the Research page.
