Research in the SCHEMA Lab draws on a broad range of methods employed across psychology, linguistics, and measurement to study how our brains make sense of other people's thoughts, beliefs, perspectives, emotions, and intentions. 

​

The Lab’s research is concerned with how perspective-taking and empathy vary across individuals, how they are influenced by bilingualism and multiculturalism, how they are measured, and what role they play in various real-world tasks.

​

The SCHEMA Lab is part of St. John's University Psychology Department.
