Welcome to the Lab, Mengcun!

We are excited to welcome Dr. Mengcun Gao as our new postdoctoral researcher in the Preston Lab. She received her Ph.D. this May from the Ohio State University where she worked under the supervision of Dr. Vladimir Sloutsky. Mengcun’s work has been focused on category learning and cognitive development, and she is now beginning an exciting new project on how children and adults learn categories with complex structures and engage in inductive generalization.

We are thrilled to have her join the team and kick off this new journey!
