Dr. Berger investigates the cognitive development of young children in the context of locomotion. She studies how infants acquire the problem-solving skills they need to navigate the world, particularly when there is an obstacle in their way. She also examines the relationship between sleep and motor problem solving.

Child Development Lab

We study the development of cognition and locomotion in infants and toddlers. We would love to meet your baby! 

Research participation credits for PSY100 and CLUE credits are available for participation. Some of our studies are portable and can take place in your home. Others require a visit to our research lab on the CSI campus. Since March 2020, all studies are run online.
