| The Emotion Lab |
| Academic Head: Dr. Noga Cohen |
|
The Emotion Lab studies the ways in which emotion, attention and cognitive control shape human behavior and experience. We use a combination of behavioral, psychophysiological and brain imaging methods to understand adaptive and maladaptive emotion regulation processes. We study basic emotion regulation mechanisms and design cognitive interventions with the aim to improve emotion regulation among healthy and clinical populations. |
| The Brain and Math Education lab |
| Academic Head: Dr. Tali Raveh |
|
The Brain and Math Education lab is part of the Department of Math Education in the Faculty of Education of the University of Haifa. |
| The Visual Cognition and Attention Lab |
| Academic Head: Dr. Amit Yashar |
|
The Yashar Lab investigates visual perception and cognition, particularly, the processes, which determine how people detect and identify visual features and objects. Our goal is to understand how cognitive and brain capacities such as plasticity, attention, and memory can enhance visual perception in both typical and atypical populations – e.g. people with autism, visual impairments, and learning disabilities. We use various research methods, including psychophysics, eye tracking, and computational modeling. |
| The Cognitive Development Lab |
| Academic Head: Dr. Bat-Sheva Hadad |
|
The Cognitive Development Lab focuses upon elucidating the way developmental mechanisms drive changes in visual cognition, how those changes are refined by visual experience, the way in which the visual system is able to recover from some perturbation and the limits to plasticity. We study perceptual process in typically developing children, children with abnormal visual history and children and adults who are diagnosed with autism. |

| Neurocognitive Research Laboratory |
| Neurocognitive Research Laboratory is one of the country's leading laboratories in the field of brain research in the population of reading deficiencies. The research conducted in the Laboratory focuses on the study of normative learning skills and learning disabilities among young people and adults with special emphasis on the study of the processes of reading fluency in normal and dyslexic readers. Specifically, the study focuses on the study of the rate of information processing in the visual auditory channel and the integration between them, as well as the study of memory and attention processes. |

| Laboratory for Intercultural Research of Personality Factors and Individual Differences |
| Academic Head: Prof. Moshe Zeidner |
| The Laboratory, founded by Prof. Moshe Zeidner in 1995, examines individual and inter-group differences in the personality, emotion and intelligence in order to highlight these variables and the implications of these differences for the educational context. |

| Mathematics Laboratory |
| Academic Head: Dr. Irit Peled |
| The Laboratory's objectives are to support the development and instruction of Mathematics in school. The Laboratory supports researchers, students of Mathematics education, graduate students, Mathematics teachers, and student teachers of special education and learning disabilities that focus on mathematical education, by engaging them in up to date research on the effective teaching of Mathematics, and promotes communication between academia and the field. The laboratory provides suitable space for individual encounters with teaching materials and for teaching courses that uses these materials. It is a meeting place for researchers and students for discussion and guidance and allows student teachers studying for a teaching certificate in Mathematics to begin to link theory and practice. The laboratory enables and encourages projects in the field of teaching and learning Mathematics. For several years, the project of the Ministry of Education's National Center for Mathematics teachers in primary education takes place in the Laboratory. |
