The CAT Lab is a research lab located at Penn State's University Park Campus. We are currently recruiting children (9-12 years) & infants (4-24 months)
At the Cognition, Affect & Temperament Laboratory, our research focuses on the ways in which emotion and attention interact to shape how individuals navigate through their social world. We do this through biological measures, self-report questionnaires, and observations of behavior in our laboratory. Our main focus is on the interaction between temperament, early appearing biases in emotion, and attention in children and adults.
