The Cognition Area includes eight full time faculty members, as well as a number of affiliated faculty members from related areas. Our research interests range over the field of cognition: from reaching behavior to the psychology of narrative, from object rotation to estimation of real-world quantitative information, from word access to analytic reading, from conceptual combination to lost-person behaviour. We have particular strength in higher-level cognition and have the largest such research group in Canada. Ours is a research intensive, apprenticeship-style program. All faculty members have funded, internationally recognized research programs, every student is immediately immersed in an active research laboratory, and collaboration with multiple faculty members is encouraged. The Department of Psychology normally provides four years of full funding for every graduate student. Currently, new students typically receive $19,560 per year; funding level increases with seniority.
