The department has a broad base in psychology, neuroscience, and development and is internationally recognized for its distinctive ecological perspective. We also embrace interdisciplinary and translational approaches, with strong connections to Cornell's Bronfenbrenner Center for Translational Research. 
The department and college provide ready access to research dedicated neuroimaging facilities, including EEG and MRI. We maintain significant research collaborations with information science and computer science faculty at the Ithaca campus and the Cornell Tech campus in New York City as well as with faculty at the Weill Cornell the medical campus.
