Griffin
A central figure in the lab's studies on inference, probabilistic reasoning, and self-control.
Griffin was hatched in 1995 and began his training in the lab at a very early age. He has labels for many of the objects in the lab, knows shapes and colors, and is now learning bigger and smaller. Griffin loves grapes, bananas, and apples, and loves to shred and play with his paper toys.
Griffin participated in studies of the Marshmallow Test (executive function) as well as those on Piagetian liquid conservation, Piagetian probability, several optical illusions, visual working memory manipulation, and tests on inference by exclusion. Current work is on another optical illusion and more complicated studies of inference by exclusion.
