Cooperation and Social Development Lab
At the Cooperation and Social Development Lab, we study how infants and children learn to cooperate. Our research explores how social interactions, learning, and culture shape collaboration from infancy to middle childhood.
By uncovering the foundations of cooperation, we aim to better understand human behaviour and promote social harmony across diverse communities.
Exploring the Foundations of Human Cooperation
How do babies come to understand their social world? What shapes our ability to collaborate and help one another? At the Cooperation and Social Development Lab, we investigate the cognitive, social, and cultural factors that influence cooperative behaviour—from infancy to middle childhood.
Through innovative research, we explore how early learning, relationships, and cultural environments shape the way we cooperate. Our goal is to uncover the developmental roots of human collaboration and provide insights that promote social harmony in diverse communities worldwide.
Join us as we explore the science behind why we work together and how cooperation evolves across cultures and generations.
