Peter Blake is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Boston University. He directs the Social Development Learning Lab, focusing on social cognitive development and the fundamental principles that influence human interactions from a young age. His research delves into foundational elements of human life, such as cooperation, fairness, and ownership. Dr. Blake investigates the cognitive and social processes that underpin children's interactions with material goods, particularly through experimental frameworks informed by game theory. His work raises significant questions about how children perceive sharing and competing for resources, such as toys or other valued items. He is currently extending his research projects to encompass different cultures in order to identify universal patterns of social development and to evaluate how cultural variables impact cooperation among children.
