A psychology researcher who, with Helen Tager-Flusberg, experimentally investigated the relationship between language and theory of mind. Children received complement-syntax, false belief or relative-clause training. Comparing subsequent performance across conditions tested transfer between skills rather than relying only on their developmental correlation.^[ref]

A psychology researcher develops and tests explanations of behavior and mental processes. The work can involve experiments, repeated observation, psychometrics or explicit computational models. A useful research question separates the observed response from its proposed cause: for example, repeated self-rated confidence measures a report, while predicting which decisions are correct tests another aspect of metacognition. ^[ref]
