Bio: Nathan is a third year graduate student in developmental psychology, having received his B.S. in Psychology from Lehigh University in 2008. His research interests center on verb learning in infancy and early childhood. Working with Dr. Kathy Hirsh-Pasek, his primary projects seek to examine when and how children come to acquire a mature understanding of the terms used to describe causal chains (e.g., cause, enable, prevent, and despite). He is also investigating how children segment events and how such processes relate to verb learning.
