Ava Agusta

I am currently working towards my B.S. in Psychology, with tracks in cognitive psychology and biopsychology. I am also pursuing a minor in Applied Cognitive Neuroscience and I will hopefully graduate in May 2026! I became involved in the Comparative Cognition and Perception (CCP) Lab in November of 2023, collecting and organizing data for the handedness project with olive baboons. While I am passionate about human cognition, working with the baboons has helped me realize how important it is to study non-human cognition too. I believe that doing so will help me gain a better understanding of how our minds work, as well as theirs!
