"AAALab stands for Awesomely Adaptive and Advanced Learning and Behavior. We create pedagogy, technology, and assessments that prepare students to continue learning and adapting. Our niche is the integration of cognitive science methods with years of classroom and programming experience to create novel and carefully tested technologies and theories of learning. A theme throughout our research is how people's facility for spatial cognition can inform and influence processes of learning, instruction, assessment, and problem-solving."

"APA is the leading scientific and professional organization representing psychology in the United States, with more than 121,000 researchers, educators, clinicians, consultants and students as its members."

Mission: To foster greater research capacity to assess, study, and promote executive functions (EF) skills and behaviors in children ages 3-12 around the globe, and especially in low-resource settings.

The Stanford Project on Adaptation and Resilience in Kids — the SPARK Lab — seeks to understand how adversity influences children's adaptation across various domains of functioning, ranging from school engagement and academic competence to positive peer relationships and prosocial behaviors. We strive to identify the biological, behavioral, and environmental processes that enable some disadvantaged children to demonstrate remarkable resilience, while placing others at risk for maladaptive outcomes, such as symptoms of anxiety and depression or disruptive behaviors.
