About

Dr. Amy Finn is an Associate Professor in Psychology and director of the Learning and Neural Development lab at the University of Toronto. Dr. Finn received her Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley and completed her postdoctoral training at MIT. Her research seeks to understand how children perceive, learn and remember differently from—and sometimes better than—adults. She seeks to understand how these developmental tradeoffs emerge from children’s ongoing cognitive and brain development, accrual of world-knowledge, and development of attention and learning systems. To unpack how and why children learn differently, her work crosses several disciplines, using tools from child development, cognitive science, cognitive neuroscience and education.
