Cognition and Affect Research and Education
The CARE (Cognition and Affect Research and Education) lab conducts research to identify cognitive and affective mechanisms underlying emotional disorders, translate these findings into new treatments, and implement these treatments in real world settings. Many CARE Lab studies test new technology-driven treatments that focus on improving interpretation bias and other cognitive vulnerabilities. We incorporate our patients’ perspectives to ensure treatments will be acceptable and helpful to people in real-world clinical settings.
