Welcome

At Social Cognition Across Development (SCAD) Lab, we examine how children and adults think about the social world.

Our research tackles questions like:
How do we understand other people’s thoughts and emotions?
What motivates humans to interact with each other?
How are social thoughts and behaviors different in kids and adults?
How does autism influence social behaviors?

The goal of our research is to promote positive social outcomes across the lifespan. We conduct both in-person and online studies and are always looking for children and adults to get involved. If you’d like to know more, please Contact Us
