Dr. Temple's focus is in the fields of developmental cognitive neuroscience and educational neuroscience. This includes both an exploration of the development of neural mechanisms underlying cognitive and emotional processes and how these mechanisms undergo plasticity based on experience, education, disordered development or disease, and /or remediation. This overarching focus is being explored with a number of projects including 1) normal and disordered literacy development and the effect of remediation and education, 2) a newly developing program in neuro-math-ed, the exploration of brain mechanisms involved in mathematical processing - how they develop and are impacted by educational strategies, 3) the effects of stress and trauma on brain function and brain development, and 4) the development and plasticity of the brain mechanisms underlying theory of mind and the effects of culture and language on these brain mechanisms.
