Amy Finn

Amy Finn is an Associate Professor and Director of the Finn Learning and Neural Development Lab (LAND Lab) at the University of Toronto. Her research investigates how brain and cognitive development shape learning outcomes in children, focusing on memory systems, neural plasticity, and environmental influences.

The LAND Lab explores developmental cognitive neuroscience, emphasizing age-related learning patterns, critical periods, and brain-environment interactions. Current research areas include implicit memory development, attentional modulation of learning, socioeconomic impacts on neural systems, and computational models of cognition.

Notable publications span topics like attention-memory dynamics, scene perception in children, and socioeconomic status effects on hippocampal development. Collaborations involve institutions such as MIT, Emory University, and international labs.
