Doctor of Philosophy in Experimental Psychology - Developmental Psychology

The Developmental group includes 6 core faculty members and 4 affiliated faculty members conducting research in a wide range of topic areas. Our core faculty emphasizes cognitive and behavioral development in infants, older children, adolescents, and adults. The area has a strong research orientation; all of our core faculty have a history of NSERC-supported research programs. The area also has a traditionof applying our research findings to real-world problems. Reflecting this orientation, our research is conducted not only on campus, but also in hospitals, schools, daycares, in children’s homes, and in clinical settings.; Our past graduate students have found career success in academia as well in the community. With the recent addition of two new faculty members, our already active graduate program is looking to expand. Our model of graduate training connects each student with a faculty member to serve as a primary supervisor throughout their program of study.
