Innovative Child Research
The UW-Green Bay Child’s Lab seeks to find new truths in children research. The lab is directed by the visionary Psychology Professor, Dr. Sawa Senzaki. The research team consists of brilliant faculty and student researchers studying children’s social, cognitive, and brain development in an attempt to solve the problems of the future. The team typically works with children from birth to 10 years of age and often conduct cross-cultural studies by working with children here at Green Bay community and around the world.
