The Program in Cognition and Development at Emory approaches the study of cognition from multiple perspectives including adult and child behavioral perspectives, neuroimaging and neuroscientific perspectives, computational perspectives, and social/situated perspectives. In the service of providing this multi-faceted training approach: All core graduate courses are co-taught by a faculty member who studies adult cognition and a faculty member who studies cognitive development. The program covers four core areas of study: Perceptual Cognition, Conceptual Processes, Language, and Memory. Students and faculty attend and participate in a variety of talks and research groups designed to foster interaction across labs and experimental approaches.
