My research focuses on the abstract theories that children build and rely upon as they navigate the social world. I explore how children learn to organize the people around them into social categories, and how they make inferences about people on the basis of social category membership. I also study the implications of social categorization for moral evaluation. When I'm not working, I can usually be found baking.

Noah Grayzel

I am a sophomore at Skidmore College, double-majoring in Studio Art and Psychology. I am very grateful to be working in the Developing Minds Lab as I am particularly interested in early childhood development and education. When not studying or working, I love to spend time with my friends, explore the outdoors, cook, and create art!

Madison Meyer

Hi! I’m Madison Meyer and I’m a junior at Skidmore college. I’m majoring in psychology. I’m so excited to be part of the Developing Minds Lab, children are the most inspiring people we have in our world and I cannot wait to take a deeper look at how they see our world. When I'm not doing research you can find me playing basketball for our woman's team here at Skidmore or watching movies with my friends!
