Finn Learning and Neural Development Lab

Finn Learning and Neural Development Lab We are a lab at U of T studying the relationship between brain development, cognitive development and learning in children and adults.

The long-term goal of our lab is to understand how cognitive and brain development support or constrain learning outcomes. The emerging field of developmental cognitive neuroscience is unveiling vast structural and functional changes in neural systems across the brain. Likewise, core memory systems undergo substantial change across development. What do these changes mean for learning and memory sy

stems? For language acquisition and achievement? For learning in more versus less enriching environments? Answering these questions is fundamental to understanding the nature of learning during childhood, to knowing why there are age-related limits on learning (critical or sensitive periods), and to understanding the role of the environment in shaping the relationship between brain development, cognitive development and learning.
