Undergraduate Advising Office

Last spring, we asked for your feedback about your advising experience—thank you to everyone who responded. A key takeaway was that most students prefer having a dedicated, assigned advisor. We want you to know that we heard your feedback and are excited to share a few upcoming changes.

Cognition in Context Laboratory

The Cognition in Context Laboratory researches how interactions between people and their social environments relate to adaptive cognitive behaviors, including reading and language. Currently, we are examining how social network experiences, such as diverse perspective bridging, relate to eye movement patterns while reading socially-nuanced language (e.g., non-literal language, social inferences). To do this, we work with egocentric social network data collected from participants who also completed a natural reading task in the lab with eyetracking. Future work may involve integration of large, population-level datasets such as data collected by the U.S. Census.
