Cognitive scientist Barbara Sarnecka leads study on how children understand number concepts; findings may lead to better methods for teaching math
Cognitive scientist uses mathematical and computational models to make machines “more human-like” in their thought processes, retrieving not only what they are told, but also what is inferred; technology has implications for defense and tech industry
Cognitive scientist Michael Lee develops mathematical and computational models to do your thinking for you; models provide insight on best possible decision when too much – or too little – information is available; used in oil, defense and tech industries
Using fMRI, cognitive scientist Emily Grossman studies how we learn by observing actions of others; findings help researchers understand how brain areas communicate with one another, helps treat those with brain abnormalities
