The primary mission of the Grayhawk Laboratory is to study and understand age-related changes in cognitive function. This understanding may then be applied in a number of domains to improve quality of life for older adults.
Not all work conducted in the Grayhawk Lab is related to cognition however. The Lab is an integral part of behavioral research in the Center on Aging, providing both research space and access to a population of healthy older adults who volunteer as research participants. Six testing rooms equipped with computers and tables can be flexibly arranged to accommodate a variety of research project needs.
As a platform for research activities, the Grayhawk Lab acts as a link between those who are interested in the study of aging and older adults in the community who are willing to contribute to knowledge of the aging process. The Lab has been used by students and faculty from a variety of backgrounds such as occupational therapy, cognitive psychology, experimental psychology, neurology, physical therapy, and medicine.
Research in the Grayhawk Lab is supported in part by grant monies from the National Institute on Aging, National Institutes of Health, and institutional support from the Landon Center on Aging.
