Research in the Cognition and Temperament (C.A.T.) Lab focuses on understanding factors that help children succeed in school! The School Readiness and COVID Impact Study is one of the current projects in the lab.
The purpose of this study is to learn more about how children think, remember, and solve problems in school. We also want to find out how COVID affected what children did and learned in school. This is an important and exciting study that will help us learn more about the impact of COVID on academic success in Black children.
As part of the School Readiness Study, we saw children when they were in pre-K and Kindergarten. Those same children are now in middle school!
