About us

Research Activities

Center members and students conduct researches on various aspects of child mental development including cognitive neuroscience, etiology of developmental disorders, social support on children with disability, epidemiological studies, and evidence synthesis.

Research Topics

  1. Cognitive neuroscience studies: We promote research aimed at elucidating human social cognition, language, emotion, and decision-making by combining psychological experiments with physiological and neuroscientific measures.
  2. Large-scale epidemiological studies: We work with large numbers of children, closely observing and recording how and when they grow by employing longitudinal study approaches (i.e., Hamamatsu Birth Cohort Study), and using the recorded data to identify factors that promote or regulate their growth. We conduct research on clarification of aetiology in developmental disorders (such as ASD and ADHD)

  3. Social support and social implementation: Based on the research results obtained through surveys conducted mainly at schools, various efforts are made to solve problems such as bullying and truancy.
