Biography

Daniel Hyde is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Illinois. His research primarily focuses on the nature and origins of abstract conceptual knowledge, exploring how it arises and the functional organization of the brain that underlies the contributions of nature and nurture to cognitive development. His work examines issues in quantitative reasoning, psychological reasoning, and the development of these capabilities in young infants, children, and adults. Using techniques such as event-related brain potentials (ERPs) and functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS), he investigates how these reasoning processes manifest in different age groups. Hyde collaborates across various fields including public health, medicine, and education to apply his findings in practical contexts.
