About the Lab

This laboratory, in conjunction with Kidsbridge programs, combines experiential learning with research with school-age children.  Kidsbridge aims to provide programs that create measurable improvements in character education and life skills. The character education programs generate positive learning in civility, kindness, conflict resolution, mediation and anti-bullying. The life skill programs are designed to prepare children to be successful in a global society, while instilling the values of cooperation, peaceful interaction, teamwork and leadership.  Undergraduate students serve as docents in the Kidsbridge mini-museum of tolerance, housed in Forcina Hall, and/or as mentors for Kidsbridge sponsored Life Skills Class in public elementary schools in Trenton.

In Lab Learning, students are involved in the central core of activity in a psychological research laboratory. The laboratories maintain an ongoing scholarly research program, directed by Dr. James A. Graham, and run collaboratively with a team of student research assistants.
