METU Workshop on Conditional and Causal Reasoning (METU-WCCR)

Welcome to METU Language and Cognitive Development Lab. We study child language and cognitive development. We are interested in how our language ability develops from childhood to adulthood, how children understand, process, and learn language and how their language ability interacts with their development in other cognitive domains.
