Welcome to the projects of the RISC Lab Group. Below are a few categories of projects we are currently working on or have previously worked on and a short summary of each category.
Geoscience Education
This collection of interdisciplinary projects uses cognitive science to explore different aspects of the geosciences as they relate to education.
Spatial Thinking
This current project analyzes spatial skills and reasoning and their relevance for STEM education in late childhood and early adolescence.
Memory Development
The development of memory during early childhood is a learning process, but what does that development look like in the brain? In our current study, we aim to understand how the neural systems responsible for our memory grow and adapt throughout the stages of early life.
