Research Interests: Brannon

The development of abstract concept representation and intersensory perception are critical issues for psychologists. My long-term research goal centers on investigating three broad questions:  

1)  To what degree can pre-linguistic and non-linguistic organisms represent abstract concepts like number? Do they share systems of representation with each other and/or with adult humans?  

2)  Do cognitive representations of organisms lacking language extend across sensory modalities?  

3)  Can we enhance nonverbal attention, learning, and memory in domains such as numerical cognition by providing redundant information in multiple sensory modalities?
