Welcome to the Developing Memory and Cognition Lab at Brock University
The Director of the lab is Dr. Caitlin Mahy.
Our lab studies the development of future-oriented cognition throughout the lifespan, with a focus on its development early in life. We have found that self-regulation plays an important role in children's ability to remember to carry out their future intentions (prospective memory) as well as how they reason and plan about the future (episodic future thinking). Our research focuses on factors that affect the development of children's future-oriented cognition and the abilities that relate to its success.
