Our Team

Dr. Vendetti completed her Masters’s and PhD at Carleton University where she studied preschoolers’ cognitive and social-cognitive development: things like self-control and attention, moral development, and understanding other people’s minds.

Through this work, she began to wonder how children’s understanding of other people’s thoughts and actions influenced their own behaviour and she has been investigating this question ever since!

Dr. Vendetti is most inspired by her own kids who are always surprising her with the funny and fantastic things they say and do!

Charlotte completed her undergraduate degree in neuroscience with a minor in psychology at the University of Guelph. Through her education, as well as work and volunteering with children of all ages, she discovered her enjoyment of developmental psychology.

She loves to learn how children see the world, especially as it relates to their moral and cognitive development and is always impressed by their observations.
