发展心理学哲学博士

发展（DEV）心理学计划利用了跨学科发展研究的快速扩展领域，该领域将心理生理，社会，情感和认知发展联系在一起。因为人类的发展包含着广泛的心理过程，并且由于发展中的个体在影响他们的环境中受到影响，所以对发展的全面研究需要综合多种方法，在多个层面上进行分析以及对广泛的数据分析研究方法和工具。我们的研究涵盖社会，个人和神经层次的分析，以调查人类基本的情感和认知能力的出现，包括参与紧密的人际关系，调节情感和认知过程，记忆，社会推理，概念发展和语言习得。我们的实验室采用最先进的观察工具，行为实验技术和神经生理学方法
The Developmental (DEV) Psychology program draws upon a rapidly expanding area of interdisciplinary developmental research linking psychophysiological, social, emotional, and cognitive development. Because human development encompasses a wide range of psychological processes, and because developing individuals function in a wide range of settings that influence them and which they influence, the full study of development requires an integration of multiple approaches, analyses at multiple levels, and exposure to a wide range of research methodologies and tools of data analysis. Our research spans social, individual and neural levels of analysis to investigate the emergence of basic human emotional and cognitive capacities, including engagement in close interpersonal relationships, regulation of affective and cognitive processes, memory, social reasoning, conceptual development and language acquisition. Our laboratories engage state of the art observational tools, behavioral experimental techniques, and neurophysiological approaches (EEG, ERP) to investigate both typical and atypical developmental pathways. Doctoral and post-doctoral students receive broad training across these levels of analysis, content issues and empirical techniques.
