Bio: Nathan is a Ph.D. student in Developmental Psychology at Temple University. He graduated from Lehigh University in 2008 with a degree in Psychology. Nathan’s research interests include the development of language in infancy and early childhood as well as children’s scientific thinking. His current projects focus on children’s understanding and use of causal verbs and how these terms factor into early science learning. He works primarily with Dr. Kathy Hirsh-Pasek at the Temple Infant and Child Lab.
