The Developing Minds Lab is directed by Dr. Lisa Chalik, Visiting Assistant Professor of Psychology at Skidmore College.
Our research examines how children think and learn about the social world. Focusing on early childhood, we investigate how children categorize people into social groups, what inferences they make on the basis of social group membership, and the consequences of those inferences for children's social and moral evaluations.
