Our cognitive abilities, including language, develop in various ways during infancy. The Clinical and Developmental Cognitive Sciences Section approaches the question of how human beings attained the use of language by clarifying how a child acquires a language, the relationship between language acquisition and other cognitive developments, and the underlying causes of disorders in language acquisition. We also investigate the genesis of cognitive functions through investigation of disorders such as Autism, Williams Syndrome and Schizophrenia.

Research Projects (2005)
