Joe Becker, Associate Professor [learn more] [contact] My most recent work concerns the possibilities of using ideas derived from constructivist cognitive theories as a basis for scientific approaches to consciousness. Other fesearch interests include theories of intellectual development, semiotic aspects of cognition, and children's developing understanding in mathematics and science.
