The Cognitive Development and Media Lab is directed by Dr. Heather Kirkorian at the University of Wisconsin – Madison. We study how children play, learn, and develop in the digital age. For example:

  • How do family stress and wellbeing relate to children’s media use?

  • What types of educational media are most effective for preschoolers?

  • What is the impact of background television on play and parent-child interactions?

The Cognitive Development and Media Lab will not be accepting new graduate students for the 2026-2027 academic year.
