Hello, my name is Amanda. I am a Junior majoring in Psychology (B.S) with a minor in Human Development and Family Sciences. My research interests are in early childhood cognition and developmental disabilities. In the Applied Cognitive Development Lab, I am currently working on the Peers and Executive Function Study, which explores how group settings influence children’s cognitive development. After graduation, I plan to pursue graduate school and a career in developmental cognitive psychology research.
