Welcome to the CALF Lab!

Cognition, Action, Learning, and FUN!

We are a developmental psychology lab at Williams College. As our name suggests (CALF–Cognition, Action, Learning, and FUN!), we study children’s learning and cognition, and our studies are fun and exciting for participants and researchers alike!

What We Study

We're interested in children’s mathematical thinking and their use of gestures. Our current projects cover topics such as math anxiety, how different gestures affect children’s spatial working memory, phonemic awareness, and their understanding of measurements.

Camille, a military dependent, works on her art project during the Summer Kids Club hosted by the Armed Services YMCA aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune’s Tarawa Terrace residential area July 19. The youngsters were spellbound as they focused on creating masterpieces made of colorful foam cut-outs and an excessive amount of glue.
