Principal Investigator
Dr. Aulet is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at University of Massachusetts at Amherst (Primary affiliation: Cognition & Cognitive Neuroscience area; Secondary affiliations: Developmental Science area and the Neuroscience & Behavior program). Most generally, she is interested in how humans integrate perceptual and conceptual information in order to represent the visual world. Her lab uses behavioral and neural (fMRI) techniques to study these abilities in both young children and adults. When not working, she enjoys going to movies at Amherst Cinema, hanging out with her cats Carter and Bosco, and drinking beer (especially from Treehouse Brewing).
Graduate Student
Cassie is a first-year PhD student in the Cognition and Cognitive Neuroscience program. She graduated from Harvard University with a Master’s degree in Human Development and Education. Her research focuses on children’s numerical and conceptual development, particularly how children build conceptual representations, using behavioral and neuroimaging measures. Outside of academics, Cassie enjoys baking, hiking, going to the gym, and playing video games.
Lab Manager
Lena graduated from UMass Amherst with a B.S. in Psychology on the Neuroscience Track. She is interested in cognitive development, specifically during ages 0-5, and utilizes her background in working with young children in her research. When she’s not in the lab or spending time with children, she enjoys reading a good book, tending to her plants, thrifting, crafting and spending time outside.
