Neurodevelopment & Neurodiversity (ND)² Lab
The Neurodevelopment & Neurodiversity Lab explores human development across the lifespan through a variety of methodological approaches. We are particularly interested in cognition, motor skills, neurodevelopmental conditions and neuroscientific approaches to pertinent topics in developmental psychology and neuropsychology.

Key Questions
-
How do cognitive and motor systems interact and develop across the lifespan?
-
How can we improve outcomes for people neurodevelopmental conditions at all ages?
-
How can lifestyle factors, such as physical activity, impact the developmental course and neurodevelopmental conditions?
-
How can we index and raise awareness about frequently overlooked neurodevelopmental conditions (e.g., Developmental Coordination Disorder)?
