Sarah Pan is a fourth-year doctoral student at ICD on the developmental science track. She works with Dr. Michèle Mazzocco to investigate children's early numerical development. In particular, Sarah's research is focused on contextual factors that influence the salience of numerosity and attention focused on numbers. Sarah is broadly interested in how to best understand and promote early learning, particularly as it applies to children's early math and executive function skills. Previously, she worked with Dr. Amanda Woodward at the University of Chicago to study toddler's object learning.
