Jamie Jirout
Jamie Jirout studies cognitive development with a focus on educational application in the Curry School of Education at the University of Virginia. Jirout’s primary research areas aim to develop understanding of the development of children’s curiosity and question asking and how education can promote both, and the development of spatial skills from playful experiences and space-math relations in early learning. She is especially interested in how STEM education can implement findings from research on cognitive development.
