Katharine Tillman is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin, affiliated with the College of Liberal Arts. She holds a Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of California, San Diego (2017). Her research focuses on cognitive development, particularly how children acquire abstract concepts like time, language, and causality. She directs the Austin Thought Lab, exploring the interplay of language, culture, and perception in shaping children’s understanding of time and other foundational concepts. Dr. Tillman teaches courses such as Introduction to Developmental Psychology (PSY 333D) and a Graduate Writing Workshop (PSY 394S), emphasizing asynchronous and online learning formats. Her work highlights developmental stages in children’s grasp of temporal concepts, spatial metaphors, and crosslinguistic variations in time-word acquisition. Recent studies address topics like causal asymmetry between past and future events and the impact of language on social beliefs about mental illness. Her research agenda includes projects on color, number, and causality learning, often employing experimental designs to trace how cultural tools like language scaffold abstract thinking. The Austin Thought Lab serves as a hub for investigating these questions through empirical studies with children and cross-cultural comparisons.
