Chloe Green, a graduate student in the Bunge Lab, has graduated with a Ph.D. from the School Psychology program in the School of Education at UC Berkeley! Congrats!

This summer Professor Bunge will be visiting Paraguay
and teaching a short course on Brain Development and Reasoning!

Professor Bunge and researchers at the Max Planck Institute were recently published in Berkeley News for their article titled “First year of grade school sharpens kids’ attention skills”. To read the full article click here!

Congratulations! Postdoctoral Scholar Ariel Starr has received the NIH-NICHD Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award for her project titled: “Longitudinal Research on the Links Between Reasoning and Math.” This project plans on conducting cognitive play interventions designed to boost reasoning and math skills in kindergarten and first-grade students as well as delving into the neural mechanisms supporting the links between these two abilities.

Professor Bunge contributed to a new eBook: The Reasoning Brain: the interplay between cognitive neuroscience and theories of reasoning.

Congratulations! Professor Bunge has been elected as a Fellow of the Society of Experimental Psychologists, the oldest and most prestigious honorary society in Psychology.
