Ty W. Boyer

I am a postdoc research associate in the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences at Indiana University in Professor Bennett Bertenthal's Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience Lab (www.indiana.edu/~dcnlab).  This summer I will be moving to a new position in the Department of Psychology at Georgia Southern University.

I study various facets of cognitive development, including social cognition, action understanding, spatial and numerical cognition, and judgment, decision-making, and risk-taking, from birth, through childhood, into adolescence, and beyond. My work revolves around the themes of perception, representation, and expectation, and the interaction of these mental processes. The development of automatic-intuitive and more explicit cognitive processes is another central theme of my work.
