CANAL Lab<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Director: John Anderson
Location: VSIM 2201
Website: CANAL Lab<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Canal Lab studies the interaction of cognitive reserve (lifestyle factors), and contextual factors (e.g., time of day, caffeine, and mood) on cognitive performance in older adults. The goal is to describe the complex set of circumstances that lead to optimal cognitive performance in older age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Director: Monique S\u00e9n\u00e9chal
Location: 210\/214 Social Sciences Research Building (SSRB)
Website: Child Language and Literacy Research Lab<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research at the Child Language and Literacy Research Lab tries to understanding how children learn language and literacy from events that occur naturally in their lives, as well as the basic mechanisms that underlie the acquisition of reading and writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Children\u2019s Representational Development Lab (CRDL)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Director: Deepthi Kamawar
Location: 6110 HCI building
Website: www.crdl.ca<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The focus of the CRDL is children\u2019s cognitive development and their ability to deal with representations<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interactive technologies, learning, and affect lab<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Director: Kasia Muldner
Location: VSIM 5210
Website: Kasia Muldner’s site<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
