Dr. Jason Yeatman is an Associate Professor at Stanford University, holding appointments in the Graduate School of Education, Department of Psychology, and the Division of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics at the School of Medicine. His research focuses on understanding the neural mechanisms of reading development, dyslexia, and designing literacy interventions. He directs the Brain Development and Education Lab, employing neuroimaging techniques to study how reading instruction shapes brain circuits.
He earned his PhD in Psychology at Stanford, studying the neurobiology of literacy. After a faculty position at the University of Washington, he returned to Stanford. His work bridges neuroscience, education, and technology, with a focus on scalable assessments like the Rapid Online Assessment of Reading (ROAR) tools.
Research interests include brain development, learning sciences, and educational equity. He teaches courses such as 'The Science of Reading' and mentors numerous graduate and postdoctoral students. His lab develops open-source tools for neuroimaging analysis and collaborates on large-scale projects like the Human Connectome Project.
Key contributions include identifying neural correlates of reading skill, studying white matter plasticity in children, and advancing adaptive testing methods for literacy screening. His work emphasizes translating neuroscience insights into practical educational strategies.
